Rövid leírás:

The Oxford Movement, though concerned with the Church and theology, was important in the spheres of politics, society, and empire in nineteenth-century Britain. Considering that England defined itself as a Protest nation with an Established Church, many found the movement's vision of Anglicanism to be too catholic.

Hosszú leírás:

Seeing the Church in danger from the government in 1833, the clergyman John Henry Newman wanted to 'look to the people' for help. The people of God were vital to the Tractarian (or Oxford) Movement which Newman, John Keble, and Edward Pusey led, and which hundreds of thousands of Anglican laypeople followed during the nineteenth century. The faithful were central to the movement's theological vision. Spiritually disciplined, the faithful would ensure that the Church's work in the world was ongoing. Properly educated, in schools for the middle classes and for the poor, at home and across the British Empire, the faithful would preserve the Church's teaching.

Yet to opponents in the nineteenth century, and most scholars since, the movement seemed to magnify the role of the clergy of the Church of England at the expense of the people. This is to neglect not only Tractarian theology, but also lay Tractarians themselves, whether the few who were important figures in the British nation and Empire, or the many who took part in shaping society.

The Oxford Movement and the People of God covers topics which are not usually encountered in studies of the Tractarians-enslavement, Empire, and English engagement in the American Civil War-as well as showing how their theology of the laity sheds new light on old topics-the Church of England's privileged place in the State, the Ritualist movement, and opposition to democracy. In none of these topics was the movement on what is called, with hindsight, 'the right side of history'. But the theological reasons, such as they were, why Tractarians took the positions they did are explored in chapters concerning providence, ecclesiology, consensus fidelium, episcopacy, and lay spirituality.

This book is very well written and tells its story in a way that is engaging and yet challenging for modern Anglicans to hear. Benjamin King demonstrates an outstanding ability in research and analysis which helps all Anglicans, especially those who are the successors of the Oxford Movement, to hear parts of the story which may not be so easy to hear. He is to be congratulated on a fine achievement in scholarship which adds significantly to the history of the Tractarians and the Oxford Movement. Despite the many books on the Tractarians and the Oxford Movement, this is a book that needs to be written and read.
