The '''Thirty-nine Articles of Religion''' (commonly abbreviated as the '''Thirty-nine Articles''' or the '''XXXIX Articles'''), finalised in 1571, are the historically defining statements of doctrines and practices of the [[Church of England]] with respect to the controversies of the [[English Reformation]]. The Thirty-nine Articles form part of the ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]'' used by the Church of England, and feature in parts of the worldwide [[Anglican Communion]] (including the [[Episcopal Church (United_States)|Episcopal Church]]), as well as by denominations outside of the Anglican Communion that identify with the Anglican tradition (see [[Continuing Anglican movement]]).

This divergence of opinion became overt during the [[Oxford Movement]] of the 19th century. The stipulations of Articles XXV and XXVIII were regularly invoked by evangelicals to oppose the reintroduction of certain beliefs, customs, and acts of piety with respect to the sacraments. In response, [[John Henry Newman]]'s [[Tract 90]] attempted to show that the 39 Articles could be read according to an [[Anglo-Catholic]] interpretation.{{sfn|Newman|1841|p=}}
