Thirty-Nine Articles

The Thirty-Nine Articles are a set of foundational Christian doctrines established in 1563 for the Church of England. They outline key beliefs about salvation, the nature of the church, sacraments, and authority, aiming to unify doctrine after the Reformation. They emphasize faith in Christ as essential for salvation, affirm the authority of Scripture, and clarify the relationship between church and state. These articles serve as a doctrinal guide for Anglicanism, balancing reformist ideas with traditional Christian teachings, and continue to influence its theology and practice today.
