Letters to a Friend Whose Mind Had Long Been Harassed by Many Objections Against the Church of England (Classic Reprint)

This book offers a stirring defense of The Church of England centered on a series of personal, open letters from the author to a Christian friend facing questions regarding the validity and necessity of the established Church. The Church of England arose from the significant social and ecclesiastical changes during the Protestant Reformation, with the author presenting it as the natural evolution of the Church within England. The author argues that this evolution was both necessary and positive, particularly in contrast to the excesses that had developed within the Church of Rome. The book covers a wide variety of topics including infant baptism, Church history, and the role of the Bible in Christian life, always arguing that The Church of England offers the best possible balance in Christian practice for contemporary believers.
