Synopsis

The Rule Of Faith, A Sermon. With Appendix, Containing An Examination Of Certain Popular Objections, And Further Proofs Of The Statements Advanced by Henry Edward Manning. This 1838 Anglican tract argues for a Rule of Faith grounded in Holy Scripture together with the Creeds established by universal tradition. Manning maintains that the Gospel was proclaimed by the Apostles before the New Testament was written, and that the Creed expresses the Church’s apostolic witness. He contends that Scripture alone cannot settle all matters of belief, nor can modern private judgment or unassisted interpretation supplant the ancient tradition. The work defends the Church of England’s stance by citing early and reformational authorities (Cranmer, Ussher, Bull, and others) and contrasts the Roman and “New” Protestants’ reliance on unwritten tradition or private judgment with a Catholic rule of faith that harmonizes Scripture with antiquity. The Appendix expands objections and further proof for the Statements advanced, situating the Rule within a polemical defense of Anglican orthodoxy.
