History Of The Tractarian Movement (1856)

By Edward George Kirwan Browne

Book Overview

The History of the Tractarian Movement, written by Edward George Kirwan Browne and first published in 1856, is a comprehensive account of the Oxford Movement, also known as the Tractarian Movement, which started in the early 19th century as a response to the perceived decline of the Church of England. The movement was led by a group of scholars at the University of Oxford who sought to restore the traditional teachings and practices of the Church, and who published a series of tracts advocating for a return to Catholicism.Browne's book provides a detailed chronology of the Tractarian Movement, from its origins in the early 1800s through to the publication of the final Tract in 1841. He examines the key figures involved in the movement, including John Henry Newman, Edward Bouverie Pusey, and John Keble, and their influence on the Church of England and wider society.The book also explores the theological debates and controversies that surrounded the movement, including its relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, its views on the authority of the Church and the Bible, and its impact on the wider Anglican Communion.Overall, The History of the Tractarian Movement is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England and the Oxford Movement, providing a detailed and insightful account of one of the most significant religious movements of the 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.
