In the early seventeenth century, as the vehement aggression of the
early Reformation faded, the Church of England was able to draw
upon scholars of remarkable ability to present a more thoughtful
defence of its position. The Caroline Divines, who flourished under
King Charles I, drew upon vast erudition and literary skill, to
refute the claims of the Church of Rome and affirm the purity of
the English religious settlement. This book examines their writings
in the context of modern ecumenical dialogue, notably that of the
Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) to ask
whether their arguments are still valid, and indeed whether they
can contribute to contemporary ecumenical progress. Drawing upon an
under-used resource within Anglicanism's own theological history,
this volume shows how the restatement by the Caroline Divines of
the catholic identity of the Church prefigured the work of ARCIC,
and provides Anglicans with a vocabulary drawn from within their
own tradition that avoids some of the polemical and disputed
formulations of the Roman Catholic tradition.
