The Fourfold Difficulty Of Anglicanism Or The Church Of England Tested By The Nicene Creed In A Series Of Letters (1846)

The Fourfold Difficulty of Anglicanism or The Church of England Tested by the Nicene Creed: In a Series of Letters is a book written by James Spencer Northcote and published in the year 1846. The book is a collection of letters that examine the challenges faced by the Church of England in reconciling its teachings with the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is a statement of Christian faith that was formulated in the fourth century and is widely used in the Anglican Church.Northcote's book is divided into four parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of the difficulty faced by Anglicanism. The first part examines the challenge of maintaining the unity of the Church while allowing for different interpretations of scripture. The second part looks at the difficulty of reconciling the Church's teachings on the sacraments with the Nicene Creed. The third part addresses the challenge of reconciling the Church's teachings on the nature of Christ with the Nicene Creed. Finally, the fourth part examines the challenge of reconciling the Church's teachings on the nature of God with the Nicene Creed.Throughout the book, Northcote argues that the Church of England must remain faithful to the Nicene Creed if it is to maintain its place within the wider Christian community. He also argues that the Church must find ways to reconcile its teachings with the Creed, even if this means making difficult choices and facing criticism from within its own ranks.Overall, The Fourfold Difficulty of Anglicanism or The Church of England Tested by the Nicene Creed: In a Series of Letters is a thoughtful and thought-provoking examination of the challenges faced by the Anglican Church in the mid-19th century. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England and its relationship to the wider Christian community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
