Origin from 1996
The Cambridge Declaration is a statement of faith written in 1996 by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, a group of Reformed and Lutheran evangelicals concerned about the direction of the evangelical movement in the United States and worldwide. It was adopted at a conference held April 17 to 20, 1996, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, attended by around a hundred delegates from around the world, and its principal authors were David F. Wells and Michael S. Horton. The declaration reaffirms the five solas of the Reformation, sola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide and soli Deo gloria, and calls evangelical churches to repent of what it describes as abandoning their historical and theological roots for the philosophies and pragmatism of the surrounding culture, a concern voiced earlier in David Wells's 1993 book No Place for Truth.
