In "Rationalism, As Exhibited in the Writings of Certain Clergymen of the Church of England," Charles Pettit McIlvaine presents a critical examination of rationalist thought within the Anglican Church. This work, framed as a letter, delves into the "Essays and Reviews," a controversial collection that sparked significant debate in the mid-19th century.
McIlvaine's analysis offers insights into the theological and intellectual currents of the time, addressing the tensions between traditional faith and emerging rationalist perspectives. This book provides valuable historical context for understanding the evolving landscape of religious thought and the challenges faced by the Church of England during a period of rapid social and intellectual change. It remains relevant for scholars of religious history and those interested in the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason.
