Anglicanism

An authoritative collection of passages from the ecclesiastical writers of the 17th-century, which illustrates the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England at that age. First published in 1935, this classic volume provides a connected account of the theological literature of the period. The book contains a considerable number of passages which has not been printed since the time in which they were written. Its importance is even greater since England did not produce at any time a single theologian to whom appeal can be made for a final sentence in disputed questions, such as Luther or Calvin, and there has been always need to consult a considerable volume of writings.
