Publisher's Synopsis
The Revival of the Conventual Life in the Church of England in the Nineteenth Century is a historical account of the revival of monasticism in the Church of England during the 19th century. The author, Ralph W. Sockman, provides a detailed analysis of the factors that led to the revival of conventual life in the Church of England, including the influence of the Oxford Movement and the rise of the Anglo-Catholic movement. Throughout the book, Sockman examines the various religious orders that emerged during this period, including the Society of Saint John the Evangelist, the Community of the Resurrection, and the Society of the Sacred Mission. He also explores the challenges these orders faced, such as opposition from within the Church of England and the difficulty of adapting to modern society. The book also delves into the impact of the conventual revival on the wider Church of England, including the influence on liturgical practices and the development of a more sacramental theology. Sockman provides a comprehensive overview of this important period in the history of the Church of England, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of monasticism or the development of the Anglican Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
