Publisher's Synopsis
Tracts For The Times V5: For 1838-40 (1840) is a book written by members of the University of Oxford. It is a collection of essays, or tracts, that were originally published between 1838 and 1840. The tracts were written by members of the Oxford Movement, a group of Anglican theologians who sought to restore the Catholic elements of the Church of England. The tracts cover a range of topics related to theology, church history, and liturgy. They argue for the importance of tradition, the authority of the Church, and the need for a return to a more Catholic form of worship. The tracts were controversial at the time of their publication and led to a wider debate about the future direction of the Church of England. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Anglicanism, the Oxford Movement, or the development of Christian theology in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
