The Oxford Handbook of the Oxford Movement reflects the rich and
diverse nature of scholarship on the Oxford Movement and provides
pointers to further study and new lines of enquiry. Part I
considers the origins and historical context of the Oxford
Movement. These chapters include studies of the legacy of the
seventeenth-century 'Caroline Divines' and of the nature and
influence of the eighteenth and early nineteenth-century High
Church movement within the Church of England. Part II focuses on
the beginnings and early years of the Oxford Movement, paying
particular attention to the people, the distinctive Oxford context,
and the ecclesiastical controversies that inspired the birth of the
Movement and its early intellectual and religious expressions. In
Part III the theme shifts from early history of the Oxford Movement
to its distinctive theological developments. This section analyses
Tractarian views of religious knowledge and the notion of 'ethos';
the distinctive Tractarian views of tradition and development; and
Tractarian ecclesiology, including ideas of the via media and the
'branch theory' of the Church. The years of crisis for the Oxford
Movement between 1841 and 1845, including John Henry Newman's
departure from the Church of England, are covered in Part IV. Part
V then proceeds to a consideration of the broader cultural
expressions and influences of the Oxford Movement. Part VI focuses
on the world outside England and examines the profound impact of
the Oxford Movement on Churches beyond the English heartland, as
well as on the formation of a world-wide Anglicanism. In Part VII,
the contributors show how the Oxford Movement remained a vital
force in the twentieth century, finding expression in the
Anglo-Catholic Congresses and in the Prayer Book Controversy of the
1920s within the Church of England. The Handbook draws to a close,
in Part VIII, with a set of more generalised reflections on the
impact of the Oxford Movement, including chapters on the judgement
of the converts to Roman Catholicism over the Movement's loss of
its original character, on the spiritual life and efforts of those
who remained within the Anglican Church to keep Tractarian ideas
alive, on the engagement of the Movement with Liberal Protestantism
and Liberal Catholicism, and on the often contentious
historiography of the Oxford Movement which continued to be a
source of church party division as late as the centennial
commemorations of the Movement in 1933. An 'Afterword' chapter
assesses the continuing influence of the Oxford Movement in the
world Anglican Communion today, with special references to some of
the conflicts and controversies that have shaken Anglicanism since
the 1960s.
