The Office of the Holy Communion in the Book of Common Prayer: A Series of Lectures Delivered in the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Paddington (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Office of the Holy Communion in the Book of Common Prayer: A Series of Lectures Delivered in the Church of St. John the Evangelist, PaddingtonThe chief design of this little Work is Edification. But in writing on the Office of the Holy Communion, it is impossible to avoid altogether questions of a controversial character.The Doctrine of the Sacrament must of course be stated and considered in such a work. On this difficult subject I have endeavoured to set forth the teaching of the Anglican Churches, as expressed in their formularies, and represented by their best Divines, repudiating on the one hand Transubstantiation, and all erroneous views holding of that dogma, and on the other Zwinglianism and all views which go to reduce the Holy Sacrament to a mere symbol, and to empty it of its character as the Highest Means of Grace.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
