The Church of England and Recent Religious Thought (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Church of England and Recent Religious Thought

IN the following pages an attempt is made to estimate the position of the Church of England in relation to recent religious thought, this latter being understood in a large sense, as including not merely professional theology but also the opinions of men in general on religious subjects.

The work is divided into four parts, each of which is intended to expand the scope of the inquiry from within outwards. Thus, in the first part, the Church's internal state is discussed. This leads to the con sideration (2) of the Dissenters and (3) of the Alien ated Classes, as following next after each other in the order of their separation from the Church of England. Finally, (4) the catholic claims of the Church are examined, no longer as regards persons or classes, but as regards the intrinsic capacity for universality of the contributions recently made to the Church's theology.
