The essays comprising Treasures New & Old commence with studies
of major foundations of Anglicanism, the Book of Common Prayer and the
King James Bible. They then address its consolidation in the 17th and
18th centuries and conclude with appraisal of the thinking and theology
of the Oxford Movement. They include informative accounts of the
contributions of, among others, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, Richard
Hooker, George Herbert, John Keble, Dr Pusey and John Henry Newman.
This book combines history, biography, liturgy, theology and spirituality.
