This collection of essays seeks to redress the negative and
marginalizing historiography of Pusey, and to increase current
understanding of both Pusey and his culture. The essays take
Pusey's contributions to the Oxford Movement and its theological
thinking seriously; most significantly, they endeavour to
understand Pusey on his own terms, rather than by comparison with
Newman or Keble.
Scottish Episcopalianism has been neglected by historians. This new work looks at the various groups of Episcopalians in the nineteenth century, showing how their beliefs and attitudes responded to the new industrial and urban society. Never before have these groups been subject to historical examination. They include Highland Gaels; North-East crofters, farmers, and fisherfolk; urban Episcopalians; Episcopalian aristocrats; Evangelical and Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians. Rowan Strong examines also the place of Episcopalians in Scottish identity in the nineteenth century, an issue which is topical today.
Alexander Forbes, Bishop of Brechin from 1847 to 1875, was the
first adherent of the Oxford Movement to become a bishop. A leading
example to many Tractarians and Anglo-Catholics in the Scottish
Episcopal Church, and in the Church of England, he also became well
known to various Roman Catholics in Europe for his work for
Catholic reunion in the 1860s. As bishop, and also incumbent of the
Scottish Episcopalian congregation in the newly industrialized
Dundee, Forbes developed a Tractarian slum ministry unique among
Anglican bishops in Britain. It was the influence of the Oxford
Movement during the early 1840s that shaped Forbes's social
commitment towards the labouring poor, coupled with his inherited
Tory paternalism. The Movement also imparted to Forbes a strong
belief in the importance of dogmatic theology, as a remedy for the
Church against the religious doubt and secularism of the
mid-Victorian period. In 1857, the Tractarian dogmatics of his
teaching initiated the Eucharistic controversy within the Episcopal
Church and seriously divided Episcopalian High Churchmen and the
Tractarians led by Forbes. In 1860 he was tried for heresy.
Although censured, he continued to work for the defence of Scottish
traditions in his Church, and for Anglican-Roman Catholic reunion.
By the time of his untimely death in 1875, Forbes's place as a
leader and example to many sympathizers of the Oxford Movement in
Scotland and England was cemented.
The Oxford History of Anglicanism is a major new and unprecedented
international study of the identity and historical influence of one
of the world's largest versions of Christianity. This global study
of Anglicanism from the sixteenth century looks at how was Anglican
identity constructed and contested at various periods since the
sixteenth century; and what was its historical influence during the
past six centuries. It explores not just 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 today. The
chapters are written by international exports in their various
historical fields which includes the most recent research in their
areas, as well as original research. The series forms an invaluable
reference for both scholars and interested non-specialists. Volume
three of The Oxford History of Anglicanism explores the nineteenth
century when Anglicanism developed into a world-wide Christian
communion, largely, but not solely, due to the expansion of the
British Empire. By the end of this period an Anglican Communion had
come into existence as a diverse conglomerate of often competing
Anglican identities with their often unresolved tensions and
contradictions, but also with some measure of genuine unity. The
volume examines the ways the various Anglican identities of the
nineteenth century are both metropolitan and colonial constructs,
and how they influenced the wider societies in which they formed
Anglican Churches.
Between 1700 and 1850 the Church of England was the among the most
powerful and influential religious, social, and political forces in
Britain. This was also a momentous time for the British Empire,
during which it developed and then lost the North American
colonies, extended into India, and settled the colonies of
Australia and New Zealand. Public understanding of this expanding
empire was influentially created and promulgated by the Church of
England as a consequence of its missionary engagement with these
colonies, and its role in providing churches for British settlers.
Rowan Strong examines how that Anglican Christian understanding of
the British Empire shaped the identities both of the people living
in British colonies in North America, Bengal, Australia, and New
Zealand during this period - including colonists, indigenous
peoples, and Negro slaves - and of the English in Britain.

Victorian Christianity and Emigrant Voyages to British Colonies
c.1840 - c.1914 considers the religious component of the
nineteenth-century British and Irish emigration experience. It
examines the varieties of Christianity adhered to by most British
and Irish emigrants in the nineteenth century, and consequently
taken to their new homes in British settler colonies. Rowan Strong
explores a dimension of this emigration history that has been
overlooked by scholars-the development of an international
emigrants' chaplaincy by the Church of England that ministered to
Anglicans, Nonconformists, as well as others, including
Scandinavians, Germans, Jews, and freethinkers. Using the sources
of this emigrants' chaplaincy, Strong also makes extensive use of
the shipboard diaries kept by emigrants themselves to give them a
voice in this history. Using these sources to look at the British
and Irish emigrant voyages to new homes, this study provides an
analysis of the Christianity of these emigrants as they travelled
by ship to British colonies. Their ships were floating villages
that necessitated and facilitated religious encounters across
denominational and even religious boundaries. It argues that the
Church of England provided an emigrants' ministry that had the
greatest longevity, breadth, and international structure of any
Church in the nineteenth century. The book also examines the
principal varieties of Christianity espoused by most British
emigrants, and argues this religion was more central to their
identity and, consequently, more significant in settler colonies
than many historians have often hitherto accepted. In this way, the
Church of England's emigrant chaplaincy made a major contribution
to the development of a British world in settler colonies of the
empire.
