The Apology Of The Church Of England (1719) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120725134)

The Apology of the Church of England is a book written by John Jewel in 1719. It is a defense of the Church of England against the criticisms and accusations made by the Roman Catholic Church. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the history of the Church of England and its separation from the Roman Catholic Church, while the second part addresses specific criticisms and accusations made by the Roman Catholic Church against the Church of England. Jewel argues that the Church of England is a legitimate and valid branch of the Christian Church, and that its doctrines and practices are in line with the teachings of the early Church Fathers. He also defends the English Reformation and the role of the English monarch in the establishment of the Church of England.Throughout the book, Jewel responds to specific criticisms made by the Roman Catholic Church, including accusations of heresy, schism, and the rejection of the authority of the Pope. He also addresses issues such as the use of the vernacular in worship, the role of the laity in the Church, and the importance of the Bible in Christian life.Overall, The Apology of the Church of England is an important work of apologetics that defends the legitimacy and validity of the Church of England in the face of criticism from the Roman Catholic Church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English Reformation and the development of the Anglican Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
