Disestablishment: Or A Defense Of The Principle Of A National Church

By George Harwood

Book Overview

Disestablishment: Or A Defense Of The Principle Of A National Church is a book written by George Harwood in 1876. The book is a defense of the principle of a national church, which argues that the state should have an official religion. Harwood argues that a national church is necessary for the maintenance of social order and that it is the duty of the state to promote the Christian religion. He also argues that disestablishment, or the separation of church and state, would lead to the decline of religion and the breakdown of society. The book is a response to the growing movement for disestablishment in the United Kingdom, which sought to end the Church of England's status as the official church of the state. Harwood's work is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the debates around religion and politics in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
