The spirit of the Oxford movement

In this collection of new and revised essays Owen Chadwick, perhaps the most distinguished living historian of religion, writes on various aspects of the Oxford Movement and the English Church in the Victorian era. Along with studies of Newman, Liddon, Edward King and Henri Bremond are included more general essays surveying the reaction of the Established Church and on the nature of Catholicism. In particular, the revision of the long-unobtainable introductory essay, The Mind of the Oxford Movement, illustrates once again the profound contribution Owen Chadwick has made to our understanding of religion in Britain in the nineteenth century.

First sentence: The Oxford Movement was of decisive importance to the religion of the English, and not only to the Church of England, not only within the Church of England to the 'high church group' which gave birth to the movement, nurtured it, and was transformed by it.
