1983 marked the 150th anniversary of John Keble's Assize Sermon, a sermon which Newman recognized as the beginning of the Oxford Movement. The religious revival which it signalled, though originating in a particular political challenge to the Church of England, was far-reaching in its effect. The continuity and catholic identity of Anglicanism was powerfully affirmed; sacramental worship was restored to a central place in Anglican devotion; religious orders were revived; and both in the mission field and in the slums, devoted priests laboured with new vigour and a new sense of the Church. This study of some of the major themes and personalities of the Catholic revival in Anglicanism highlights some of these aspects, and in particular, points to the close relationship between theology and sacramental spirituality which was at the heart of the movement. To recognize this central characteristic of the revival can contribute much, the author believes, to the renewal of the Catholic tradition in Anglicanism today.

Clarendon Press

The beginning of the Oxford Movement in the early nineteenth century signalled a religious revival that was to have far-reaching effects on the Church of England: the continuity and catholic identity of Anglicanism was affirmed, sacramental worship was restored to a central place in Anglican devotion, and religious orders were revived. Visions Glorious studies the Catholic revival in Anglicanism in the nineteenth century and explores some of the major themes and personalities involved, focusing on the close relationship between theology and sacramental spirituality that was at the heart of the movement. Examining the beliefs of major figures such as Newman, Pusey and Keble, this scholarly critique of the Oxford Movement by the present chaplain of Keble College makes a contribution to the renewal of the Catholic tradition in Anglicanism today.

Come, Lord Jesus! invites readers to enter more deeply into the mystery and wonder of the Incarnation of Christ. For each day from the first Sunday of Advent to the Feast of the Epiphany, readings, prayers, and suggestions for daily devotions help readers interact imaginatively with the reactions and feelings of the biblical figures involved with the story of Jesus' birth. Rowell and Chilcott-Monk focus particularly on Mary, her "yes" to God at the Annunciation, and her own journey from Bethlehem to Calvary.   The title of the book is a translation of a New Testament prayer, Maranatha!, an expression of the longing, hope, and unity of purpose among the first followers of Christ. At a time of year when commercial pressures threaten to obscure the child in the manger, Come, Lord Jesus! will focus hearts and minds afresh on the miracle of love at work among us.
