Excerpt from Essays Contributed to the "Quarterly Review", Vol. 2 of 2
M on of our readers may have seen the effect of the stirring of some deep and' stately stream by the sudden pouring into it on every side of the thousand freshets which have been awoke by an unwonted fall of rain. There is a rising up of dead and forgotten things from its tranquil depths which might stand for an acted parable of the great final awaken ing of all departed words, and thoughts, and actions. The present aspect of religious thought amongst ourselves seems to have been subjected to some such law of disturbance. There is scarcely a question of criticism or interpretation scarcely a faint struggle over a principle, a regulation, or a creed, however deep it may seem to have been buried, how ever long the quiet waves have flowed over it, and babbled nothing of its presence - which is not being stirred up and brought to the surface of the present seething, edd ying tide of theological thought.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often contentious history of clerical subscription in England, exploring the evolving relationship between religious freedom and the requirement of adherence to specific doctrines. The author traces the origins of this practice back to the Reformation, when the newly established Church of England sought to ensure the loyalty of its clergy and the uniformity of its teachings. The book examines the shifting power dynamics between the clergy and the Crown, analyzing how the implementation of subscription served as a tool to maintain order and suppress dissent in a period marked by religious turmoil and political upheaval. The author delves into the philosophical arguments for and against subscription, considering the concerns of those who believed it stifled intellectual freedom while also exploring the perspectives of those who saw it as a vital safeguard for the integrity of the Church. Through a rich and detailed examination of historical documents, legal statutes, and the opinions of key figures in the religious debates of the time, the book sheds light on the tensions and complexities that surrounded this controversial practice. The author reveals how clerical subscription became a battleground for the very definition of religious liberty, showcasing the historical context that shaped the ongoing conversation about faith, authority, and individual conscience in the Church.
