''At a time when the integrity of Anglicans is under attack, the republication of this collection and accompanying essays is most timely.''Focus - Newspaper for Anglicans in the Diocese of Brisbane, No. 379, July 2011"Its impressive scope and depth make it a fantastic resource. Every page will draw readers in, not just for the ideas themselves, but for the artful prose (and sometimes poetry) in which they are expressed.".."The authors collected in this volume speak for themselves. Readers who pick it up will hear a strong and clear voice answering the question of "What is Anglicanism?""James Clark, The North American Anglican, May 2022
First published in 1935, this classic compilation provides a connected account of the theological literature of the Church of England during the 17th Century. Particularly invaluable to scholars and students, it contains a considerable number of passages which have not been printed since the original time of writing. In addition, since the doctrines of the Church of England have never been defined by the thinking of single theologian like Luther or Calvin, there has been always need to consult a considerable range of writings in order to resolve questions of doctrine and practice. This book brings together just such a range, providing a comprehensive insight into the theology of 17th Century Anglicanism.
