The Oxford Declaration And The Eleven Thousand: Biblical Truths And Bishop Colenso (1864)

By James Boully

Book Overview

The Oxford Declaration And The Eleven Thousand: Biblical Truths And Bishop Colenso (1864) is a book written by James Boully. The book is a historical account of the controversy surrounding Bishop John William Colenso, who was the Bishop of Natal in South Africa during the mid-19th century. Colenso's views on the Bible and his questioning of traditional Christian beliefs caused a stir among the Anglican Church, leading to his excommunication in 1863. The book explores the Oxford Declaration, a statement issued by the Church of England in response to Colenso's views, and the support he received from a group of eleven thousand people who signed a petition in his favor. Boully examines the theological arguments put forth by both sides and provides a detailed analysis of the biblical texts that were at the heart of the controversy. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Anglican Church and the debates surrounding biblical interpretation in 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.
