The Bampton lectures for M.DCCC.LXXX. The organization of the early Christian Churches: eight lectures delivered before the University of Oxford, in the year 1880

by Edwin Hatch

About the Book Anglicans belong to the Christian tradition that evolved out of the practices, liturgy and identity of the Church of England following the Protestant Reformation. Anglicans base their Christian faith on the Bible, traditions of the apostolic Church, apostolic succession, and writings of the Church Fathers. During the 19th century, leading Anglican thinkers renewed their interest in pre-Reformation English religious thought and practice. John Keble, Edward Bouverie Pusey and John Henry Newman exercised a pervasive influence on polemics, homiletics and theological and devotional works. They largely repudiated the old high church tradition and replaced it with a dynamic appeal to antiquity which looked beyond the Reformers and Anglican formularies. The Oxford Movement that they led sought to reassert Catholic identity and practice in Anglicanism.
