Synopsis

Exploring the invocation of saints through history, doctrine, and church practice

This book surveys the debate within the Church of England about praying to saints. It traces the issue from early debates, through the Reformation, to later Anglican positions, and weighs how definitions, liturgies, and official teachings have shaped contemporary practice. The text clarifies what is meant by invocation vs. com-precation and looks at how different Christian traditions have treated intercession and consciousness after death.

• Understand the historical development of invocations and intercessions within England’s church.
• See how major Anglican thinkers and official statements have treated the practice.
• Learn how definitions and wording in historic articles influenced church law and devotion.
• Compare the English approach with Roman Catholic and Eastern Christian perspectives.

Ideal for readers of church history, Anglican theology, and nineteenth- to early twentieth-century debates on doctrine and worship.

This edition presents the core arguments and historical context needed to discuss whether invocation of saints belongs in Catholic and Anglican devotion, and what such a stance means for ecumenical dialogue and liturgical practice.
