EBOOK Victorian Reformation The Fight Over Idolatry in the Church of England, 1840-1860
Opis
In early Victorian England there was intense interest in understanding the early Church as an inspiration for contemporary sanctity. This was manifested in a surge in archaeological inquiry and also in the construction of new churches using medieval models. Some Anglicans began to use a much more complicated form of ritual involving vestments, candles, and incense. This "e;Anglo-Catholic"e; movement was vehemently opposed by evangelicals and dissenters, who saw this as the vanguard of full-blown "e;popery."e; Dominic Janes seeks to understand the fierce passions that were unleashed by the contended practices and artifacts - passions that found expression in litigation, in rowdy demonstrations, and even in physical violence.
