This journal upholds classical Anglican theology, rooted in Scripture, the 39 Articles, and the Book of Common Prayer. Committed to social, moral, and theological orthodoxy, we explore our rich tradition to strengthen Christ’s Church with timeless wisdom, piety, and truth.
The North American Anglican has never condoned nor does it promote racial hatred or racial bigotry in any of its forms, nor does anyone on the editorial board. For this reason, when Thomas Achord admitted to authoring an anonymous Twitter account containing racist content, we immediately withdrew our reviews of his work. Mr. Achord did…
At the beginning of this series, I proposed that the first step toward understanding this “secular” age would be exploring just how we got here. The first major resource I’ve recommended for that task is the book After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre. Which Way: ARISTOTLE OR NIETZSCHE? Alasdair MacIntyre wrote After Virtue to convince his…
At the beginning of this series, I proposed that the first step toward understanding this “secular” age would be exploring just how we got here. The first major resource I’ve recommended for that task is the book After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre. In After Virtue we’ve uncovered what MacIntyre calls “emotivism,” or the implicit ethics…

I ended my introduction to this series with an outline of the major…
When I’m frustrated or at an impasse with a fellow Christian, I find it’s not necessarily differences in the doctrinal details of our faith in Christ that divide us. Often, profoundly different beliefs about the world we all occupy are at the root of our conflict. The thing is, if we misjudge the basic features…
Stepping Into the Fray Over the past week, I read an article printed in this journal that I believed to be in need of some gentle correction. Before I had finished my own response, however, I noticed that another writer I admire had beat me to it, only to find myself more frustrated with this…
Prolegomena: A Defense of the Scholastic Method. By Jordan Cooper. A Contemporary Protestant Scholastic Theology. The Weidner Institute: A Division of Just and Sinner, 2020. 358 pp. $21.60 (paperback) Whether you realize it or not, a heated debate has been taking place in Protestant circles these past few decades, over the usefulness or even compatibility…
I want to bring a text to our readers’ attention that will undoubtedly seem obscure, especially to those not already familiar with the sort of domestic piety, usually done in accordance with The Book of Common Prayer, that is found among the great (and even lesser so) English houses of the seventeenth century and onward….
