James Pereiro provides a new key for a fuller and proper
understanding of the Oxford Movement. Although references to ethos
constantly surface in the writings and correspondence of the
Tractarians, the study of the theory of religious knowledge which
it implies has so far been neglected. Pereiro explores the
pre-Tractarian historical circumstances, the intellectual roots of
the Movement, the formation of the concept of ethos, and the
influence it had in the ideological and historical development of
the Movement. He also discusses in detail the formation of Newman's
theory of development of Christian doctrine: the intellectual clash
of ideas from which Newman's theory emerged, and the vital role
played by the concept of ethos. The two appendices publish some
manuscript sources of great interest for the history of
Tractarianism: S. F. Wood's early theory of development of
doctrine, and the negative reactions of Newman and Manning; and a
long narrative description of the Oxford Movement written by Wood
at the request of Newman and Pusey.
