Excerpt from A Commentary on the Thirty-Nine Articles: Forming an Introduction to the Theology of the Church of EnglandThis work has at least been produced by a natural process. It originated, and has gradually assumed shape, out of a necessity which has long pressed upon the Author. Having been engaged for some years in teaching theology, he has sought in vain for a manual containing the definitions and terms of that science, and distinctly enunciating the received doctrines of the Church of England.The plan of this work is precisely that which is indicated by its title. It is meant to be an introduction to the Theology of the Church of England. We are so accustomed to magnify our own divisions, and our opponents so habitually mock them, that some may be inclined to doubt whether there is such a theology. The Author would be far from saying that our differences on the doctrine of justification and the nature and efficacy of the sacraments are trivial. But, setting aside those extremes which do not really belong to our Church, though they struggle to find foot-hold within her limits, it is believed that our differences are to say the least, very manageable, so long as they are discussed on the platform of Holy Scripture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
