The Oxford History of Anglicanism is a major new and unprecedented
international study of the identity and historical influence of one
of the world's largest versions of Christianity. This global study
of Anglicanism from the sixteenth century looks at how was Anglican
identity constructed and contested at various periods since the
sixteenth century; and what was its historical influence during the
past six centuries. It explores not just the ecclesiastical and
theological aspects of global Anglicanism, but also the political,
social, economic, and cultural influences of this form of
Christianity that has been historically significant in western
culture, and a burgeoning force in non-western societies today. The
chapters are written by international exports in their various
historical fields which includes the most recent research in their
areas, as well as original research. The series forms an invaluable
reference for both scholars and interested non-specialists. Volume
one of The Oxford History of Anglicanism examines a period when the
nature of 'Anglicanism' was still heavily contested. Rather than
merely tracing the emergence of trends that we associate with later
Anglicanism, the contributors instead discuss the fluid and
contested nature of the Church of England's religious identity in
these years, and the different claims to what should count as
'Anglican' orthodoxy. After the introduction and narrative chapters
explain the historical background, individual chapters then analyse
different understandings of the early church and church history;
variant readings of the meaning of the royal supremacy, the role of
bishops and canon law, and cathedrals; the very diverse experiences
of religion in parishes, styles of worship and piety, church
decoration, and Bible usage; and the competing claims to 'Anglican'
orthodoxy of puritanism, 'avant-garde conformity' and Laudianism.
Also analysed are arguments over the Church of England's
confessional identity and its links with the foreign Reformed
Churches, and the alternative models provided by English Protestant
activities in Ireland, Scotland and North America. The reforms of
the 1640s and 1650s are included in their own right, and the volume
concludes that the shape of the Restoration that emerged was far
from inevitable, or expressive of a settled 'Anglican' identity.
