Abstract

The article focuses on the biblical and theological basis for making oaths in the context of ordination within the Church of England. It discusses whether oaths are consistent with Scripture, examining passages from Matthew 5 and James 5 that caution against rash or false swearing, and evaluates historical and doctrinal perspectives, including the 39 Articles, the Homilies, and Anglican practice.
