'The publication of this book is an important event as much for
literature as it is for theology.' - T.S. Eliot The seventeenth
century was an era of unparalleled brilliance in English life and
literature. Many of the greatest figures of the century contributed
to the religious debates of the era: poets like John Donne, George
Herbert and Thomas Traherne; scientists like Isaac Barrow, Robert
Boyle and Isaac Newton; theologians like Lancelot Andrewes, Richard
Hooker and the Cambridge Platonists; lawyers like Francis Bacon and
John Selden; literary figures like Thomas Browne, John Evelyn and
Izaak Walton. Anglicanism is an authoritative collection of
passages from the writers of the seventeenth-century, illustrating
the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England. First
published in 1935, this classic volume provides a rich anthology of
theological writing from the golden age of English literature. Its
importance is the greater since England did not produce at any time
a single theologian to whom appeal can be made for a final sentence
in disputed questions, such as Aquinas or Calvin. Anglicanism
brings together in a single volume the most important English
writing on religion from a period of unparalled brilliance. Paul
Elmer More was the outstanding American literary critic of his
generation. He was editor of 'The Nation' and wrote many books, of
which the best known is The Greek Tradition. F.L. Cross was Lady
Margaret Professor of Theology at Oxford and Canon of Christ Church
Cathedral. He founded the Oxford Patristics Conference and edited
the 'Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church'.
