Synopsis "The Legal History of the Church of England: From the Reformation to the Present"
This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the principal legal landmarks in the evolution of the law of the established Church of England from the Reformation to the present day.It explores the foundations of ecclesiastical law and considers its crucial role in the development of the Church of England over the centuries.The law has often been the site of major political and theological controversies, within and outside the church, including the Reformation itself, the English civil war, the Restoration and rise of religious toleration, the impact of the industrial revolution, the ritualist disputes of the 19th century, and the rise of secularisation in the twentieth. The book examines key statutes, canons, case-law, andother instruments in fields such as church governance and ministry, doctrine and liturgy, rites of passage (from baptism to burial) and church property.Each chapter studies a broadly 50-year period, analysing it in terms of continuity and change, explaining the laws by reference to politics and theology, and evaluating the significance of the legal landmarks for the development of church law and its place in wider English society.
