A definitive history of one of the most significant religious orders to emerge in the Anglican church, the Cowley Fathers - the first men’s religious order to be founded in the Church of England since the Reformation.
The Victorian Archbishop of Trebizond, George Errington (1804-1886) was one of the most prominent figures of nineteenth-century English Roman Catholicism. He was involved in the resurgence of the English Catholic Church, and would have achieved the highest offices himself had not a dispute between him and Cardinal Wiseman led to his fall from favour in the eyes of Propaganda Fide. He has come to be regarded as the leader of an "Old Catholic" party as the struggle continued for dominance in the period of consolidation following the restoration of the hierarchy in 1850. An intimate of Newman, Errington maintained a large correspondence which covers almost every church controversy of his lifeti...

Long ghettoized within British and Irish studies, Catholicism and Recusancy in Britain and Ireland demonstrates that, despite many challenges and differences among them, English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish Catholics formed strong bonds and actively participated in the life of their nations and their Church.
The Oxford Movement, initiating what is commonly called the Catholic Revival of the Church of England and of global Anglicanism more generally, has been a perennial subject of study by historians since its beginning in the 1830s. But the leader of the movement whose name was most associated with it during the nineteenth century, Edward Bouverie Pusey, has long been neglected by historical studies of the Anglican Catholic Revival. This collection of essays seeks to redress the negative and marginalizing historiography of Pusey, and to increase current understanding of both Pusey and his culture. The essays take Pusey’s contributions to the Oxford Movement and its theological thinking seriou...
A collection of nine articles and lectures, many previously unpublished, written by the renowned social and ecclesiastical historian, David Newsome. This collection has the linking theme of studying history through a 'mosaic of vignette-studies', and includes articles on John Henry Newman, Thomas Arnold and Samuel Wilberforce as well as more general themes such as the emotive style of Victorian writing and the value of Charles Dickens to an historian.

This study focuses on the embodiment theology of the South Indian theologian A. J. Appasamy (1891-1975). It argues for the distinctive theological voice of Appasamy, whose sacramental reading of the Gospel of John, influenced by Ramanuja (1017-1137), opens up new Christological and comparative possibilities.
Many people who have thought about God have not thought about animals, or about the relationship between the two. But among those who have are some of the most celebrated religious thinkers, including Michel de Montaigne, Thomas Tryon, John Wesley, John Ruskin, Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, and Paul Tillich. This volume comprises 24 scholarly studies that detail challenges to the dominant anthropocentrism of most religious traditions. The editors have brought together Jewish, Unitarian, Christian, transcendentalist, Muslim, Hindu, Dissenting, deist, and Quaker voices, each offering a unique theological perspective that counters the neglect of the nonhuman. Animal Theolo...
