Tractarianism Not Of God: Sermons (1844)

By Charles Benjamin Tayler

Book Overview

Tractarianism Not Of God: Sermons (1844) is a collection of sermons by Charles Benjamin Tayler, a prominent Anglican clergyman and theologian of the early 19th century. The book is a critique of the Tractarian movement, a group of Oxford University theologians who sought to revive traditional Catholic practices and beliefs within the Church of England. Tayler argues that the Tractarians' teachings are inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and the Anglican Church's historic traditions. He also criticizes their emphasis on ritualism and their rejection of the Protestant Reformation. The sermons in the book cover a range of topics, including the nature of faith, the role of the Church in society, and the importance of personal piety. Tayler's arguments are grounded in his deep knowledge of scripture and his understanding of the history of the Church. The book is an important document of the theological debates of the time and continues to be of interest to scholars of Anglican history and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
