R.T. Beckwith

Qu es lo que define a la Iglesia de Inglaterra? Tienen los Treinta y nueve Art culos alguna relevancia hoy en d a? El Anglicanisimo, seg n Jim Parker, posee "la m's verdadera, m's sabia y potencialmente la m's rica herencia en toda la Cristiandad con los Treinta y nueve art culos en el centro de su coraz n. Estos art culos captan la esencia y el esp ritu del cristianismo b blico magnificamente bien, y tambi n proporcionan un modelo excelente de como confesar la fe en medio de una cristiandad dividida. En este estudio, Parker tiene como objectivo mostrar como los Art culos del siglo diecis is deben ser vistos en el siglo veinte y uno, y como pueden enriquecer la fe de Anglicanos en general y en particular de Anglicanos evang licos. Parker demuestra por qu los art culos una vez m's deben tener una voz dentro de la Iglesia, no solo como una curiosidad hist rica, sino como una declaraci n con autoridad doctrinal. Roger Beckwith ofrece diecisiete Art culos Complementarios, en un ap ndice que stimula relecci n y discuten teol gicamente asuntos que los ha llevado a un sitio de prominencia desde que los Art culos fueron originalmente compuestos. Este folleto, fu publicado por primera vez hace m's de veinte a os, se mantiene en mucha demanda y tan oportuna como siempre. Ha demostrado ser uno de los estudios m's populares y perdurables publicados por The Latimer House, y es ahora publicado en una segunda edici n, traducida aqui al espa ol. Jim Packer est en la Junta Gobernadores, Categr tico de Teolog a en Regent College, en Vancouver. Roger Beckwith fue bibliotecario y Director de Latimer House, en Oxford Inglaterra durante m's de treinta a os. What defines the Church of England? Are the Thirty-nine Articles of any relevance today? Anglicanism, according to Jim Packer, possesses "the truest, wisest and potentially richest heritage in all Christen dom" with the Thirty-nine Articles at its heart. They catch the substance and spirit of biblical Christianity superbly well, and also provide an excellent model of how to confess the faith in a divided Christendom. In this Latimer Study, Packer aims to show how the sixteenth century Articles should be viewed in the twenty-first century, and how they can enrich the faith of Anglicans in general and of Anglican evangelicals in particular. He demonstrates why the Articles must once again be given a voice within the Church, not merely as an historical curiosity but an authoritative doctrinal statement. A thought-provoking appendix by Roger Beckwith offers seventeen Supplementary Articles, addressing theological issues which have come into prominence since the original Articles were composed. This booklet, first published more than twenty years ago, remains much in demand and as timely as ever. It has proved one of the most popular and enduring Latimer Studies, and is now issued in a second edition, translated here into Spanish. Jim Packer is Board of Governors' Professor of Theology at Regent College, Vancouver. Roger Beckwith was librarian and warden of Latimer House, Oxford for more than thirty years.
