Description: "In this 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, synthesizes 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 information, is sure to become a key student text."--BOOK JACKET.
