Confirmation was an important part of the life of the
eighteenth-century church which consumed a significant part of the
time of bishops, of clergy in their preparation of candidates, and
of the candidates themselves in terms of a transition in their
Christian life. Yet it has been almost entirely overlooked by
scholars. This book aims to fill this void in our understanding,
and offers an important contribution and correction of our
understanding of the life of the church during the long eighteenth
century in both Britain and North America. Tovey addresses two
important historical debates: the 'pessimist/optimist' debate on
the character and condition of the Church of England in the
eighteenth century; and the debate on the 're-enchantment' of the
eighteenth century which challenges the secular nature of society
in the age of the Enlightenment. Drawing on new developments of the
study of visitation returns and episcopal life and on primary
research in historical records, Anglican Confirmation goes behind
the traditional Tractarian interpretations to uncover the
understanding and confidence of the eighteenth-century church in
the rite of confirmation. The book will be of interest to
eighteenth-century church historians, theologians and liturgists
alike.
