England And The Holy See - Spencer Jones - Bog

""England and the Holy See: An Essay Towards Reunion"" is a book written by Spencer Jones and published in 1902. The book attempts to explore the possibility of reunification between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church. Jones provides a historical overview of the relationship between the two churches, starting with the reign of Henry VIII and the English Reformation. He also discusses the various attempts at reconciliation that have been made over the centuries, including the Oxford Movement and the Lambeth Conference. Throughout the book, Jones argues that the differences between the two churches are not insurmountable and that there is much that they share in common. He suggests that a reunification could be achieved through a process of mutual understanding and compromise, rather than by one church surrendering to the other. Jones also addresses some of the practical issues that would need to be resolved in order for reunification to take place, such as the role of the Pope and the status of the Anglican clergy.Overall, ""England and the Holy See: An Essay Towards Reunion"" is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and controversial topic. It offers insights into the history and theology of both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, and raises important questions about the nature of Christian unity and the challenges of achieving it in a divided world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
