"The Oxford Movement; Twelve Years, 1833-1845" by R. W. Church is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the Oxford Movement, also known as the Tractarian Movement, which aimed to address religious and theological crises facing the Church of England during a period of significant political and social upheaval. The author reflects on the key figures involved, such as John Keble and John Henry Newman, and offers insights into their motivations and the broader implications for English theology and the Church. The opening of the book sets the stage for the Oxford Movement, detailing the contemporary context—a Church that was seen as imperiled during the Reform Bill era, struggling against popular hostilities and political challenges. Church begins by emphasizing the lackluster response from Church leaders against the revolutionary pressures of their time and highlights how a group of Oxford men recognized the need for a renewed spiritual and theological vigor. Keble is introduced as a significant influence on the movement alongside Newman and Froude, who played pivotal roles in fostering a more vibrant perception of the Church's mission and its historical importance. The narrative promises to delve into the characteristics, aspirations, and ultimate developments of this influential period while remaining a personal testament to the strength of conviction held by its key proponents.
