The Oxford Movement

The Oxford Movement, written by R.W. Church, is a comprehensive account of the religious and social movement that originated in the 19th century in England. The book explores the origins, development, and impact of the movement, which was led by a group of Anglican theologians who sought to revive the Catholic traditions of the Church of England. The Oxford Movement was a response to the growing secularization of society and the perceived decline of the Church of England. It emphasized the importance of liturgy, sacraments, and the authority of the Church, and sought to restore the spiritual and moral character of the Church. The book examines the key figures of the movement, including John Henry Newman, Edward Pusey, and John Keble, and their influence on the Church of England and the wider society. The Oxford Movement had a profound impact on the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion, and its legacy can still be felt today. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the Church of 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.
