A Letter To The Archbishop Of Canterbury (1850)

By Henry Phillpotts

Book Overview

""A Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury"" is a book written by Henry Phillpotts in 1850. The book is a response to the Archbishop's request for advice on the subject of the Gorham controversy, which involved a dispute over the baptismal formula used by the Church of England. Phillpotts, a prominent theologian and Bishop of Exeter, argues that the Church of England's doctrine on baptism is clear and unambiguous, and that any deviation from it would be a departure from the Church's teachings. He also criticizes the Archbishop's handling of the controversy, accusing him of being too lenient and compromising in his approach. The book is a reflection of the theological debates and controversies of the time, and provides insight into the religious and political climate of mid-19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
