Explore how the English Church shaped and was shaped by the eighteenth century.
This two‑volume study, titled The English Church in the Eighteenth Century, Vol. I, examines the Church of England during a period of lively debate, shifting loyalties, and growing intellectual and religious ferment. Written by Charles John Abbey with contributions from John Overton, it surveys how clergy, laity, and state interacted across politics, philosophy, and worship, identifying key debates without losing sight of everyday religious life.
Volume I frames the era’s main questions: the balance of church and crown, the place of Nonjurors and High Church ideas, the rise of Deism and its critics, and the spread of evangelical and Methodist influences. It situates later revolutions and internal controversies within a broad view of how Anglican doctrine, ritual, and practice evolved in a time of rapid social change.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Eighteenth Century. If the ground is no longer so unoccupied as it was then, it appears to them that there is still abundant room for the book which they now lay before the public. Their main subject is expressly the English Church, and they write as English Churchmen, taking, however, no narrower basis than that of the National Church itself. They desire to be responsible each for his own opinions only, and therefore the initials of the writer are attached to each chapter he has written.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful book surveys religious life and thought in 18th century England. It probes the loss of strength the Puritan and Nonjurors brought about and how intellectual movements affected direct practical religious issues. The main subject of the debate was the supremacy of reason in religious matters. The book asserts the intellectual movement of the time unearthed reasons for the Reformation and became harbingers to the Methodist and Evangelical revivals as well as provided the impetus to Protestant feeling in 1689. The author asserts that plans were afoot in William III's time for Church improvements and comprehension but these hopes were quashed in Queen Anne's reign. Religious Societies and the Sacheverell brouhaha are addressed within, as are meditations upon Hoadly, Methodism as part of the Evangelical movement, evidence writers, and the results of the Evidential Theology.
