Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive collection of the laws and rules of the Anglican Church established in the late 16th and early 17th century under the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James. The text is focused on the Canons and Articles formulated in this period, key documents designed to reinforce the Church's separation from Papal authority and assert the supremacy of the English monarch. These texts served to establish the doctrines and practices that define the Church's distinct theological and ecclesiastical identity. The book provides a valuable resource for understanding the legal, administrative, and religious foundations of the Anglican Church, tracing its origins and examining the historical context that shaped its development. Through these documents, the author reveals the core convictions, principles, and structures that have guided the Church's mission and continue to influence its practices today.
