The Oxford Movement in Practice
Author: George HerringPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198769334
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
From its inception what came to be known as the Oxford Movement was always intended to be more than just an abstruse dialogue about the theoretical nature of Anglicanism. Instead, it was meant to spread its ideas not only through college common rooms, but also bishop's palaces, and above all the parsonages of the Church of England. The Oxford Movement in Practice presents an analysis of Tractarianism in the generation after Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism. While much scholarly work has been done on the Oxford Movement between 1833 and 1845, and on a number of specific individuals or aspects of the Movement after this period, this work adopts a different approach. It examines Tractarianism in the parochial setting, and charts the development of the Movement through its influence on the parishes of the Church of England. George Herring offers detailed explanation of the development of ritualism in the 1860's, and shows how the Ritualists diverted the course the Movement had been taking from 1845.
A History of Preaching Volume 1
Author: Rev. O.C. Edwards JR.Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501834037
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 864
Book Description
A History of Preaching brings together narrative history and primary sources to provide the most comprehensive guide available to the story of the church's ministry of proclamation. Bringing together an impressive array of familiar and lesser-known figures, Edwards paints a detailed, compelling picture of what it has meant to preach the gospel. Pastors, scholars, and students of homiletics will find here many opportunities to enrich their understanding and practice of preaching. Volume 1 contains Edwards's magisterial retelling of the story of Christian preaching's development from its Hellenistic and Jewish roots in the New Testament, through the late-twentieth century's discontent with outdated forms and emphasis on new modes of preaching such as narrative. Along the way the author introduces us to the complexities and contributions of preachers, both with whom we are already acquainted, and to whom we will be introduced here for the first time. Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, Bernard, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Edwards, Rauschenbusch, Barth; all of their distinctive contributions receive careful attention. Yet lesser-known figures and developments also appear, from the ninth-century reform of preaching championed by Hrabanus Maurus, to the reference books developed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries by the mendicant orders to assist their members' preaching, to Howell Harris and Daniel Rowlands, preachers of the eighteenth-century Welsh revival, to Helen Kenyon, speaking as a layperson at the 1950 Yale Beecher lectures about the view of preaching from the pew. Volume 2, available separately as 9781501833786, contains primary source material on preaching drawn from the entire scope of the church's twenty centuries. The author has written an introduction to each selection, placing it in its historical context and pointing to its particular contribution. Each chapter in Volume 2 is geared to its companion chapter in Volume 1's narrative history. Ecumenical in scope, fair-minded in presentation, appreciative of the contributions that all the branches of the church have made to the story of what it means to develop, deliver, and listen to a sermon, A History of Preaching will be the definitive resource for anyone who wishes to preach or to understand preaching's role in living out the gospel. "...'This work is expected to be the standard text on preaching for the next 30 years,' says Ann K. Riggs, who staffs the NCC's Faith and Order Commission. Author Edwards, former professor of preaching at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, is co-moderator of the commission, which studies church-uniting and church-dividing issues. 'A History of Preaching is ecumenical in scope and will be relevant in all our churches; we all participate in this field,' says Riggs...." from EcuLink, Number 65, Winter 2004-2005 published by the National Council of Churches

Book Description
Confirmation has sometimes been described as a sacrament in search of a theology. In Perfective Unction, theologian and bishop Jeremy Taylor embraces that search, carefully sifting through the wisdom of patristic theology, the prayers of liturgical manuscripts, and the authority of conciliar decrees. In this way, Taylor not only defends confirmation as a central, sacramental rite of the Christian life, but he also manages to model an Anglican theological method, one that takes seriously the example of the early church, even as it meets the heart of the individual believer with pastoral compassion and generosity. "This is that power from on high which first descended in Pentecost," Taylor writes of confirmation, and it is the mission of the Church to share this immense gift with the world. About the Author Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) was born the son of a barber and died as Bishop of Down and Connor in Ireland. Known for his devotional writings, especially Holy Living and Holy Dying, Taylor can also be numbered among the Caroline Divines for his eloquent defense of many Anglican hallmarks--including episcopacy, liturgical prayer, and the riches of sacramental life. About the Editors Reginald Heber (1783-1826) was Bishop of Calcutta. In addition to editing Jeremy Taylor's Whole Works, he was a passionate hymn-writer, best known today for "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!" Charles Page Eden (1807-1885) served as a priest in the Church of England and contributed his skills as an editor to The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology and Taylor's Whole Works. Eden is also the author of Tract 32, "The Standing Ordinances of Religion," in Tracts for the Times. About the Library of Anglican Theology Published by Seminary Street Press, the Library of Anglican Theology seeks to provide newly typeset editions of important works from the Anglican tradition for a wide array of contemporary readers--Christian laypeople, historians of the Church, seminary students, bishops, priests, deacons, catechists, and theologians. The Library will provide a rich foundation on which to build as Anglicans continue to theologically engage with the pressing questions of our time.
