Synopsis

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.
What you’ll encounter in this volume:
  • An overview of church and state relations, loyalty, and the political context of religious life
  • Profiles of influential figures and movements, from Nonjurors to late‑century evangelicals
  • Explanations of major controversies, such as the Deistical debates and the Jacoibite era
  • Discussion of how clerical and lay communities sustained religious practice amidst reform and conflict
Ideal for readers of church history, eighteenth‑century Britain, and those seeking a grounded, accessible portrait of the English church’s development during this period.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
