The Oxford Movement transformed the nineteenth-century Church of
England with a renewed conception of itself as a spiritual body.
Initiated in the early 1830s by members of the University of
Oxford, it was a response to threats to the established Church
posed by British Dissenters, Irish Catholics, Whig and Radical
politicians, and the predominant evangelical ethos - what Newman
called 'the religion of the day'. The Tractarians believed they
were not simply addressing difficulties within their national
Church, but recovering universal principles of the Christian faith.
To what extent were their beliefs and ideals communicated globally?
Was missionary activity the product of the movement's distinctive
principles? Did their understanding of the Church promote, or
inhibit, closer relations among the churches of the global Anglican
Communion? This volume addresses these questions and more with a
series of case studies involving Europe and the English-speaking
world during the first century of the Movement.
