  • The Rise and Decline of Anglican Idealism in the Nineteenth Centuryby T. Gouldstone

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2005; US$ 100.00

    Scientific and historical studies in the Nineteenth-century challenged Christian believers to restate their faith in ways which took account of new knowledge. An example of this is the influence of philosophical idealism on a generation of writers and theologians, principally centred around the University of Oxford. However, these optimistic and socially-privileged men and women failed to come to terms with the mass movements and rapid changes in fin-de-siècle England. The Church moved out of touch with national life and is reaping the consequences today. more...

  • Victorian Reformationby Dominic Janes

    Oxford University Press, USA 2009; US$ 65.00

    In early Victorian England, the cross was widely thought to be a deadly idol that led worshippers to the devil. Victorian Reformation is a study of the intense anxieties surrounding 'idolatry' which was, in a narrow sense, the worship of idols, but also devotion to anything that intervened between the believer and God.
