The Oxford Movement and Tractarian Theology, Session 3

In this session, Fr. Jim explores the Oxford Movement and Tractarian Theology, focusing on their influence on Anglicanism, the importance of apostolic authority, and the movement's historical controversies. Ideal for those interested in church history, doctrine, and Anglican practice. We'll look at the publication and themes of the Tracts for the Times, the doctrine of apostolic authority and its significance, the restoration of the ancient undivided church and patristic sources, the concept of the via media and its implications, the role of Newman, Pusey, and other key figures, the controversy surrounding Tract 90 and Newman’s conversion to Catholicism, and the Oxford Movement’s legacy in Anglican practice and doctrine.
