On the Thirty nine Articles Book

A brilliant example of contemporary engagement with historical theology. This isn't an exposition of the Thirty-Nine Articles, to be clear. It is, as O'Donovan notes, a conversation with them, using the Articles as a conversation partner in thinking about the central doctrines of the Christian faith. I don't agree with O'Donovan about everything - indeed, our ecclesiologies are very different, and we differ on the sacraments as well - but he is a careful thinker about and with the Articles, correcting them when he sees them lacking (especially on the doctrine of creation and of the invisible Church) and holding up what they do well. His work on the first four articles and articles 11-18 are especially excellent. His treatment of imputation is, in a word, luminous. Truly a great example of the Protestant side of Anglican reformed catholicism.
