Publisher's Synopsis
Oxford Divinity Compared With That Of The Romish And Anglican Churches, With A Special View Of The Doctrine Of Justification By Faith is a book written by Charles Pettit McIlvaine in 1841. The book compares the teachings of Oxford Divinity, which was a movement within the Church of England that emphasized the importance of tradition and authority, with those of the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church. McIlvaine focuses particularly on the doctrine of justification by faith, which is a central tenet of Protestant theology. The book argues that the teachings of Oxford Divinity, which McIlvaine sees as being influenced by Roman Catholicism, are incompatible with the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debates within the Church of England about the proper relationship between tradition, authority, and the individual conscience, and it remains an important work of theological scholarship to this day.As It Was Made Of Primary Importance By The Reformers, And As It Lies At The Foundation Of All Scriptural Views Of The Gospel Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
