Zusammenfassung:
Seeing the Church in danger from the government in 1833, the clergyman John Henry Newman wanted to 'look to the people' for help. The people of God were vital to the Tractarian (or Oxford) Movement which Newman, John Keble and Edward Pusey led, and which hundreds of thousands of Anglican laypeople followed during the 19th century. This book covers topics which are not usually encountered in studies of the Tractarians - enslavement, Empire and English engagement in the American Civil War - as well as showing how their theology of the laity sheds new light on old topics, such as the Church of England's privileged place in the State, the Ritualist movement and opposition to democracy.
