Description
The Thirty-Nine Articles Their Place and Use Today by James Innell Packer and Roger T. Beckwith The Church of England's defining principles are rooted in the Thirty-nine Articles, which capture the essence of biblical Christianity with remarkable clarity. According to Jim Packer, these sixteenth-century Articles remain a vital part of Anglican heritage, offering a rich model for confessing the faith in today's divided world. This Latimer Study explores how the original Articles can be applied and enriched in the twenty-first century, making them an authoritative doctrinal statement once again. A thought-provoking appendix by Roger Beckwith addresses seventeen Supplementary Articles, tackling theological issues that have arisen since their composition. First published over twenty years ago, this booklet remains a timely and popular resource, now issued in a second edition.
