The Anglican Church: The Creature and Slave of the State

By Peter Cooper

Book Overview

The book ""The Anglican Church, The Creature And Slave Of The State: Being A Refutation Of Certain Puseyite Claims"" is written by Peter Cooper. The book is a detailed analysis and refutation of certain claims made by the Puseyites, a group of Anglican theologians who believed in the Catholic tradition and authority of the Church. The book argues that the Anglican Church is not a slave to the State, as the Puseyites claimed, but rather an independent institution with its own governance and authority. The author provides historical evidence to support this argument, tracing the development of the Church of England from its origins in the 16th century to the present day.The book also addresses the Puseyites' claims about the Church's relationship with the State, arguing that while the Church may have some ties to the State, it is not subservient to it. The author argues that the Church's primary allegiance is to God, and that it must be free to follow its own conscience and teachings without interference from the State.Overall, ""The Anglican Church, The Creature And Slave Of The State: Being A Refutation Of Certain Puseyite Claims"" is a comprehensive and well-researched critique of the Puseyite movement and their claims about the Anglican Church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Anglican Church, as well as for those interested in the relationship between religion and the State.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
