In this timely and much needed new book for students, George Herring attempts to answer the question What Was The Oxford Movement? Herring provides an up-to date starting point for investigation and, in doing so, synthesises some of the best modern research on the movement. He also breaks new ground in a number of other areas- not least in re-evaluating the effect on the Movement of Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism, and in providing a long-overdue account of the impact of Tractarianism within the parochial setting. This book, packed with useful data for students is sure to become a key student text.
