Epiphany reveals Christ as the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham, as Gentile worshipers are drawn to the light of Israel’s Messiah and the blessing of salvation goes out to the nations....

The Nicene Creed confesses both the Son and the Holy Spirit as Lord. This article shows how Reformation Christianity upholds the one saving Lordship of the triune God, contrasting it with “Lordship Salvation,” which turns the confession “Jesus is Lord” from a declaration of Christ’s deity into a moral condition for salvation. True lordship is confessed in the gos...

This article contrasts John Calvin’s Reformation doctrine of justification by faith alone with Jonathan Edwards’s later “dispositional soteriology.” Drawing from Calvin’s Institutes (3.11) and the Reformed confessions, it shows that saving faith is receptive—accepting, receiving, and resting on Christ’s righteousness alone—while Edwards’s model redefines ...

Many dismiss the Book of Common Prayer’s liturgy as “mere repetition,” but repetition is what forms us in Christ. Rooted in the Reformation, Anglican worship shapes our hearts, grounds us in Scripture, and offers deeper gospel fluency than the shallow novelties of modern Evangelical worship....

This article examines the Vatican’s recent doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidēlis (“Mother of the Faithful People of God”) from a Reformation Anglican perspective. While the note rejects the Marian title Co-redemptrīx, it leaves untouched Rome’s official teachings on cooperative grace and Mary’s ongoing intercessory role as Mediātrīx. Drawing on the Catechism of...

This article contrasts the Catechism of the Catholic Church’s teaching on justification with the Reformation Anglican doctrine confessed in the Thirty-Nine Articles. Whereas the Catechism presents justification as an infused, cooperative process involving grace and merit, the Articles proclaim the biblical gospel of justification by faith only—Christ’s righteousness ...

On this Reformation Day—the Eve of All Saints’ Day—we remember Thomas Cranmer, the English Reformer and Archbishop of Canterbury who gave the Church the Book of Common Prayer and a gospel-centered vision of the Lord’s Supper. Cranmer taught that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist—not in the bread and wine themselves, but spiritually to the faith of believer...

On Reformation Day we remember Bishop Nicholas Ridley, martyred in 1555, whose Brief Declaration of the Lord’s Supper defended the gospel against transubstantiation. Ridley taught that in Holy Communion believers truly receive Christ by the Spirit through faith — not by the bread changing into flesh — so that faith, not fear, is the way of communion....

This article examines whether the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion forbid Eucharistic adoration. Drawing on Articles 25 and 28 and Gerald Bray’s The Faith We Confess, it explains why Anglicans reject reservation, elevation, and adoration of the consecrated elements, and instead embrace Word and Sacrament as Christ’s appointed means of grace....

This article examines George Hunsinger’s critique of Jonathan Edwards’s “dispositional soteriology,” showing how Edwards blurred the line between faith and love in justification. Against this, the Reformation upholds sola fide: we are justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone with love and good works as necessary fruits but never the ground of ...

This article explains how the mission of the Church is defined by its marks — preaching, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. These means of grace are God’s strategy for delivering Christ to His people and sending the Church into the world....

This article examines how Article 23 of the 39 Articles, rooted in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, ensures lawful ministry. It tackles Evangelicalism’s issue of self-appointed, unauthorized Bible teachers, promoting ordained oversight to safeguard confessional unity. ...
