The Oxford Movement (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169296060)

The Oxford Movement is a book written by R.W. Church that discusses the religious movement that took place in the 19th century in England. The movement, also known as the Tractarian movement, was led by a group of Anglican clergy who sought to revive the Catholic traditions and beliefs within the Church of England. The book explores the history of the movement, its key figures such as John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey, and the impact it had on the Anglican Church and wider society. It also delves into the controversies surrounding the movement, including its relationship with the Roman Catholic Church and its opposition to the reforms of the Victorian era. The Oxford Movement provides a comprehensive overview of a significant period in the history of the Church of England and the wider religious landscape in England.Their unflinching and severe proclamation of Church principles and Church doctrines coincided with a state of feeling and opinion in the country, in which two very different tendencies might be observed. They fell on the public mind just when one of these tendencies would help them, and the other be fiercely hostile. On the one hand, the issue of the political controversy with the Roman Catholics, their triumph all along the line, and the now scarcely disguised contempt shown by their political representatives for the pledges and explanations on which their relief was supposed to have been conceded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
