Synopsis

Definitive Anglican response to Tractarian arguments

This volume collects sermons that argue for justification by faith and a Protestant reading of Holy Scripture, defending the Church of England’s teaching against Romish and reforming critiques. It presents a clear, scripturally grounded account of key doctrines and aims to fortify readers with a practical understanding of how faith and grace work in the believer’s life.

The author contrasts Tractarian claims with Anglican doctrine, citing Scripture and the Church of England’s articles. The sermons cover topics from justification and baptism to the Lord’s Supper and church practice, always with an eye toward practical faith and spiritual growth. They urge readers to ground belief in the Bible and to hold fast to the Reformation-era creed of salvation through faith in Christ alone.
  • Plain explanations of core doctrines like justification by faith and the role of grace.
  • Discussion of baptism, communion, fasting, humility, and church life from an Anglican perspective.
  • Critical examination of Tractarian ideas and their alleged deviations from Scripture.
  • Guidance on wrestling with difficult questions without losing sight of biblical truth.
Ideal for readers seeking a historically grounded, scripture-centered defense of Anglican beliefs and their practical application in daily faith life.
