Tracts for the Times, Volume 1
by Irenaeus
'Tracts for the Times, Volume 1' Summary
'Tracts for the Times, Volume 1' is a foundational text of the Oxford Movement, a significant theological and liturgical movement within the Church of England in the 19th century. This collection of essays and historical writings aims to reassert the authority of tradition and the Catholic heritage within Anglicanism. The 'Tracts' themselves argue for a more ritualistic and sacramental approach to worship, while the 'Records of the Church' provide a historical basis for these theological positions. Through the writings of early Church Fathers, the volume seeks to demonstrate the continuity between the ancient Church and the Anglican Church, highlighting a shared theological and liturgical foundation. The volume also includes accounts of martyrdoms and stories of early Christian saints, showcasing the resilience and witness of the early Church. 'Tracts for the Times, Volume 1' serves as a powerful document of the Oxford Movement, contributing to the broader discussions on liturgical and theological reform within the Church of England.Book Details
