The Invocation of Sain: An Article Reprinted, With Slight Additions, From the 'Church Quarterly Review' (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
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.
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.

The Invocation of Sain: An Article Reprinted, With Slight Additions
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historically informed examination of the invocation of saints, an important practice within the Roman Catholic Church. The author presents evidence of this practice across the history of Christianity, from the earliest centuries through to the present, arguing that it is both licit and utilitarian to petition the saints to intercede with God on our behalf in prayer. The book is grounded in the writings of Christian leaders from across the ages and demonstrates how the invocation of saints developed from the belief that the saints are conscious and capable of prayer. The author also discusses the broader subject of the veneration of saints within Christianity, and the views of those who do not believe in the practice of invocation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331799610_0
