Publisher's Synopsis
Tracts For The Times V2: For 1834-35 (1840) is a book written by Members of the University of Oxford. This book is a collection of essays, or tracts, that were originally published between 1834 and 1835. The tracts were written by a group of Anglican theologians known as the Oxford Movement, who sought to revive traditional Anglican beliefs and practices in response to the growing influence of Protestantism and secularism in England.The tracts cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of the Church, the role of bishops, the sacraments, and the authority of tradition. The authors argue for a more Catholic understanding of the Church, emphasizing its continuity with the early Church and its connection to the universal Church. They also defend the use of ritual and symbolism in worship, and criticize the growing trend towards a more rationalistic and individualistic approach to religion.The tracts were controversial at the time of their publication, and sparked a heated debate within the Church of England. Some accused the authors of promoting Roman Catholicism, while others saw them as a threat to the established Church. Despite the controversy, the tracts had a significant impact on the Church of England, and helped to shape the development of Anglican theology and practice in the nineteenth century.Overall, Tracts For The Times V2: For 1834-35 (1840) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England, the Oxford Movement, or Anglican theology and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
