Death Bredon: The Thirty-Nine Articles today
Published by ☕,
Unfortunately for the Low Church Party, the 39 Articles are neither Reformed or Lutheran -- simply comparing them with the famous Confessions of the Magisterial Reformers reveal them to use fall well of short of Protestant Orthodoxy. This is why the Puritans so vigorously opposed the Articles and the BCP as non-Reformed. Indeed, it was not until after the Restoration that the Evangelicals began selling their revisionist, Reformed reading of the Articles. In more recent times, however, more balanced expositions of the articles -- see e.g., E.J. Bicknell -- show that they are neither Anglo-Catholic nor Reformed nor Lutheran, but rather repudiations of all these innovative theological stances.
