Dr. Bray uses his profound depth of doctrinal and historical knowledge to unearth the firm evangelical foundations of the Church of England.
The established Church is currently in big problems, but Latimer’s director of research shows that its 39 Articles of Religion contain sound biblical doctrine. That is why The Faith we Confess deserves to be recommended reading for evangelicals considering Anglican ministry and should inspire confidence. But it is also helpful for church members. Because it is a collection of pithy essays on each Article, with an excellent introduction, it can be used, for example, at a church council meeting. I used part of his essay on the Three Creeds (Article 8) at a PCC recently.
