9781334341908: A Defence of the Principles of the English Reformation From the Attacks of the Tractarians

Synopsis

This book delves into the theological debates of the 19th-century Oxford Movement, primarily through an examination of the British Critic, a periodical advocating for Tractarianism, a controversial set of beliefs that sought to 'unprotestantize' the Church of England. The book is a close reading of the arguments for and against Tractarianism, using historical context to establish how figures in the movement sought to change the Church of England from within. By offering insights into the internal debates within this movement and the defenses put forth by those who opposed it, the book presents a fascinating exploration of Tractarianism's desired reforms, ultimate failures, and lasting influence.
