The Book of Common Prayer provides that "Ornaments of the Church" and of her ministers, shall be "retained and in use" as in the second year of King Edward VI. This first of the Alcuin Club Tracts examines which ornaments were actually in use in that year, during the incessant changes of the English Reformation. It avoids both Low Church rigor and the indiscriminate adoption of ornaments in use in the Church of Rome, but never adopted in England or else abolished by 1549. The third edition, here reprinted, contains extensive addenda, including a caustic commentary on Archbishop Sandys' glossing of the Elizabethan legislation, which held that "retain and use" can mean "retain but not use".

The Filioque Impasse

Patristic Roots

By Michelle Coetzee

Series: Perspectives on Philosophy and Religious Thought 6

ISBN: 978-1-4632-0403-7

A fascinating study of the underlying reasons for the disagreement over the clause “and the Son” in the Western version of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed, which contributed to the schism between Eastern and Western Christians. Coetzee argues that there has been a great deal of misunderstanding of the positions of each tradition by the other, partly due to the fact that East and West imbue certain key words, such as ‘person’ and ‘unity’, with different meanings which Coetzee believes come from different understandings of Hellenic philosophy. Against this backdrop, Coetzee sets about clearing up some of the misunderstandings.

Formation of Apostolic Succession of Bishops in Ecclesiastical Crises

By Robert Lee Williams

Series: Gorgias Studies in Early Christianity and Patristics 16

ISBN: 1-59333-194-0

Early lists of bishops, identified by Walter Bauer as "literary propaganda," mark critical points in the development of the doctrine of the apostolic succession of bishops. This study delves into the political struggles surrounding the lists and the doctrine they served to define. Ecclesiastical politics in each case reflects the threat to the bishop's authority and clarifies the meaning of apostolic succession in the Church's development. This social history approach, examining the function of the literature within its historical circumstances, reveals how theology developed from politics. The development is as gripping politically as it is illuminating theologically.
