Is the Church of England the true Church? A thoughtful, historically grounded dispute tested by the Nicene Creed.
This concise, argumentative work examines how four classic marks of the true Church—Unity, Sanctity, Catholicity, and Apostolicity—stack up when applied to Anglicanism. Through a series of close readings and pastoral reflections, the author weighs the Church’s identity against the broader Christian world, including Catholic and Protestant perspectives. The result is a measured, accessible case for examining authority, tradition, and the shape of Christian unity today.
- This edition analyzes how the Church’s continuity, governance, and mission align with early Christian testimony.
- It contrasts local church identity with the idea of a truly Catholic Church that spans nations and centuries.
- It considers miracles, tradition, and how a Christian can discern the true Church without surrendering personal conscience.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, historically informed discussion of Anglican self-understanding, church unity, and the stakes of ecclesial allegiance.
