Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this was the first full and scholarly account of the formal Elizabethan and Jacobean debates between Presbyterians and conformists concerning the government of the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical and Theological Reflections on the Anglican Church from J. I. Packer The Anglican Church has a rich theological heritage filled with a diversity of views and practices. Like a river with a main current and several offshoot streams, Anglicanism has a main body with many distinct, smaller communities. So what constitutes mainstream Anglicanism? Influential Anglican theologian J. I. Packer makes the case that "authentic Anglicanism" is biblical, liturgical, evangelical, pastoral, episcopal (ordaining bishops), national (engaging with the culture), and ecumenical (eager to learn from other Christians). As he surveys the history and tensions within the Anglican Church, Packer casts a vision for the future that is grounded in the Scriptures, fueled by missions, guided by historical creeds and practices, and resolved to enrich its people.

Excerpt: ...spiritually alive, and eager for things of the mind, was Milton's aspiration and his ideal. He was a prophet of the movement for free national education, and, holding that a collection of books is the true university, a prophet of the movement for free libraries of public endowment. The writer of a good book, the teacher of youth, the guardian of a library, he viewed as members of the true clerisy of a nation, more diligent for the general welfare than the hired parson, pledged to a particular set of opinions and droning out his dole on one day in seven to earn his state wages. " So all the land would be soon better civilised," and those who receive the free gift of education might reasonably be required not " to gad far out of their own country," but continue there, thankful for what they had received, bestowing it on others as need arose, without soaring above the rank in which they were born. Education, as Milton conceived it, should be not merely literary; it should be also technical; every boy should be taught an honest trade. And why should not worthy teachers of religion arise from among such cultivated craftsmen? Let Christians but know their own dignity, their liberty, their adoption, their spiritual priesthood, "whereby they have all equally access to any ministerial function, whenever called by their own abilities and the Church, though they never came near commencement or university," let them but know their true prerogatives, and with liberty a new and noble vigour will be infused throughout the whole spiritual life of the country. If Milton's ideal was half a dream, it was also half a prophecy. Schools and libraries at the close of the nineteenth century in some measure realise what he anticipated in his vision. And of the...
Download or read book Puritans and Predestination written by Dewey D. Wallace and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-03-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to Puritan scholarship, 'Puritans and Predestination' presents the first consistent and thorough historical analysis of a key Puritan theological concept - predestination. For almost two centuries prior to 1695, English religious and cultural life endured a period of great upheaval. Dewey Wallace illuminates this complex era by tracing patterns of religious thought that took root in early English Protestantism and by explaining their social, cultural, and ecclesiastical implications. 'Puritans and Predestination' concludes that the differences between Puritan and Anglican theology were often subtle and sometimes nonexistent. Central to Protestant theology was the doctrine of grace - the notion that salvation was a divine gift, a free gift to those who believed. Among the many elements that constituted the doctrine of grace, predestination was the foremost. Wallace believes that shifting attitudes toward and emphases on predestination serve as both a measure of the extent of theological unity and an index of theological change. Among the significant conclusions documented in the course of this study are the importance of the Bucerian order of salvation in the early English Reformation, the anachronistic character of reading sharp differences in outlook between Puritan and Anglican, and the centrality of the piety and theology of grace in Puritanism. Wallace also explores the radically innovative character of the Laudian and Arminian theology, the inroads of rationalistic moralism into theology by the middle of the seventeenth century, and the emergence among later Stuart Dissenters of an evangelical pietism prefiguring the religion of the awakenings. This book will be indispensable to those interested in Puritanism and the theology of the Church of England.

Download or read book Visible Saints written by Edmund Sears Morgan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1965 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a richly detailed account of the genesis, flowering, and decline of the Puritan ideal of a church of the elect in England and America, Professor Morgan offers an important reinterpretation of a pivotal era in New England history. Historians have generally supposed that the main outlines of the Puritan church were determined in England and Holland and transplanted to the new world. The author convincingly suggests, instead, that the distinguishing characteristic of the New England churches--the ideal of a church composed exclusively of true and tested saints--developed fully only in the 1630's and 1640's, some time after the first settlers arrived in New England. He also examines the influence of the Separatist colony at Plymouth on the later settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and follows the difficulties created by a definition of the religious community so selective that the New England churches nearly expired for lack of saints to fill them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Puritan and Anglican: Studies in Literature The Puritan writers with whom I deal are such as to render the title "Puritan and Anglican" not inexact, although many the Puritan party were loyal members of the Anglican Communion. In choosing my subjects 1 have been influenced by two things: first, I have spoken only of writers with whom I have dwelt long and intimately; and secondly, among such writers I have spoken only of those who move me to speak through some personal interest which I feel in the men or their work. Hence without scruple or regret I omit many great names, being ere content to indulge my own likings. I have desired to remain close to my subjects, a many passages, for example, of what I have written 1 Herbert and Vaughan, it is Herbert and Vaughan ho are in fact the speakers; but I did not think) necessary to encumber my pages with a crowd of references to scattered poems from which their thoughts ad phrases have been collected.

Download or read book St Paul and Protestantism with an Essay on Puritanism and the Church of England written by Matthew Arnold and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay following the treatise on St. Paul and Protestantism, was meant to clear away offense or misunderstanding which had arisen out of that treatise. There still remain one or two points on which a word of explanation may be useful, and to them this preface is addressed. The general objection, that the scheme of doctrine criticized by me is common to both Puritanism and the Church of England, and does not characterize the one more essentially than the other, has been removed, the author hopes, by the concluding essay. But it is said that there is, at any rate, a large party in the Church of England,—the so-called Evangelical party,—which holds just the scheme of doctrine the author has called Puritan; that this large party, at least, if not the whole Church of England, is as much a stronghold of the distinctive Puritan tenets as the Nonconformists are; and that to tax the Nonconformists with these tenets, and to say nothing about the Evangelical clergy holding them too, is injurious and unfair.
