Publisher's Synopsis
Aids to Reflection on the Seemingly Double Character of the Established Church is a book written by William Palmer in 1841. The book offers a detailed analysis of the Church of England, which Palmer believed had a seemingly double character. On the one hand, the Church of England was established by law and had a definite set of doctrines and practices. On the other hand, it was also a broad-based church that accommodated a wide range of beliefs and practices.Palmer argued that this double character of the Church of England was both a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, it allowed the Church to be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances. On the other hand, it also made the Church vulnerable to criticism and attack from both within and outside the Church.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the Church of England and its history. The second part examines the double character of the Church and the challenges it faces. The third part offers suggestions for how the Church can address these challenges and maintain its position as a vital and relevant institution in British society.Overall, Aids to Reflection on the Seemingly Double Character of the Established Church is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of the Church of England and its place in British society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Church of England, as well as for those concerned with the challenges facing the Church in the modern world.With Reference To The Foundation Of A Protestant Bishopric At Jerusalem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
