Dependence

“Dependence or The Insecurity of the Anglican Position” by Luke Rivington is a thought-provoking critique of the Anglican Church's theological stance and its reliance on external religious authorities. Written in 1889, Rivington, a former Anglican priest turned Catholic, presents a compelling argument about the insecurity of the Church of England's position within the broader Christian tradition. This work delves into the tensions surrounding ecclesiastical independence, the authority of tradition, and the challenges faced by a church trying to balance orthodoxy with reform. A fascinating read for anyone interested in religious history, the Anglican-Catholic divide, or theological debates of the late 19th century.
"Dependence or The Insecurity of the Anglican Position" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1889.
