Synopsis

Hook line : A clear, engaging study of how the Oxford Movement changed Anglican life, from its beginnings to its lasting impact.

This historical portrait examines the people, controversies, and ideas that drove a pivotal shift in 19th‑century Anglicanism. It centers on the leaders, writers, and debates that gave rise to the Tractarian current and its aftermath, including the influence of figures like John Henry Newman and W. G. Ward. The narrative weaves together personal personalities, institutional tensions, and the intellectual climate of the time to explain why the movement mattered then and why it continues to matter for how Anglicans think about tradition, authority, and unity.

  • Learn how early questions about ritual, authority, and church life sparked a broad movement within the English church
  • Meet the key personalities, their ideas, and the public controversies that shaped the era
  • Follow the movement’s evolution, from its origins to its later consequences for Anglican identity
  • Understand the broader historical and theological context that influenced Anglican thought
Ideal for readers of church history, 19th‑century English religion, and students seeking a grounded overview of a turning point in Anglican life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Oxford Movement, or the Tractarian Movement as it is sometimes called, is generally regarded as a revival within the Church of England of the Catholic doctrines always retained in its Prayer Book and maintained in the seventeenth century by an influential party. Such doctrines as the Apostolic succession, the priesthood, the sacramental system, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist had in the eighteenth century become less and less prominent, and were widely forgotten. From this point of view the Movement was the be ginning of the important development which our own day has witnessed, of ritualism and of A nglo Catholicism. But the Movement also had kinship and common parentage with other religious movements both in England and on the Continent.
