Reseña del editor:

'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'.
