The Oxford History of Anglicanism provides a global study of
Anglicanism from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first. The
five volumes in the series look at how Anglican identity was
constructed and contested since the English Reformation of the
sixteenth century, and examine its historical influence during the
past six centuries. They consider not only the ecclesiastical and
theological aspects of global Anglicanism, but also the political,
social, economic, and cultural influences of this form of
Christianity that has been historically significant in Western
culture, and a burgeoning force in non-Western societies since the
nineteenth century. Written by international experts in their
various historical fields, each volumes analyses the varieties of
Anglicanism that have emerged. The series also highlights the
formal, political, institutional, and ecclesiastical forces that
have shaped a global Anglicanism; and the interaction of
Anglicanism with informal and external influences which have both
moulded Anglicanism and been fashioned by it. Volume five of The
Oxford History of Anglicanism considers the global experience of
the Church of England in mission and in the transitions of its
mission Churches toward autonomy in the twentieth century. The
Church developed institutionally, yet more than the institutional
history of the Church of England and its spheres of influence is
probed. The contributors focus on what it has meant to be Anglican
in diverse contexts. What spread from England was not simply a
religious institution but the religious tradition it intended to
implant. The volume addresses questions of the conduct of mission,
its intended and unintended consequences. It offers important
insights on what decolonization meant for Anglicans as the mission
Church in various global locations became self-reliant. This study
breaks new ground in describing the emergence of an Anglicanism
shaped more contextually than externally. It illustrates how
Anglicanism became enculturated across a broad swath of cultural
contexts. The influence of context, and the challenge of adaptation
to it, framed Anglicanism's twentieth-century experience.
