The Oxford Movement, Twelve Years - Richard William Church - Bog

The Oxford Movement, Twelve Years: 1833-1845 is a historical account of the religious movement that originated in Oxford, England during the early 19th century. Written by R. W. Church and first published in 1909, the book provides a detailed chronicle of the events and personalities that shaped the movement, which sought to revive the Catholic elements of the Anglican Church and restore its connection to the wider Catholic tradition. The book covers a period of twelve years, from the publication of John Keble's sermon ""National Apostasy"" in 1833, which is widely regarded as the starting point of the movement, to the resignation of John Henry Newman from the Anglican Church in 1845 and his subsequent conversion to Roman Catholicism. Along the way, the book explores the debates and controversies that arose within the movement, including its relationship with the established Church of England, its views on the authority of the Church and the Bible, and its engagement with contemporary social and political issues. Church's narrative is based on extensive research and draws on a range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and other contemporary documents. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Oxford Movement, its key figures, and its lasting impact on the Anglican Church and wider Christian tradition. It remains an important and influential work in the field of religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
