Reviews

The Oxford Movement in Practice provides a carefully documented history of the movement and its agenda of ecclesial renewal * W. Clark Gilpin, University of Chicago, The Journal of Religion * Herring articulates a coherent vision of the Church on the part of the Tractarians and identifies the efforts of a significant number of clergy to bring this vision to reality in the parishes. * Rev. Dr. Dan Handschy *

-In The Oxford Movement in Practice, George Herring presents a new historical exploration of Tractarianism as it manifested in the wake of Newman s conversion. The work is richly sourced, making important use of careful demographic and statistical research to locate the work of Tractarian clergy within English parochial life. The result is a broader, more-textured portrait than previous explorations focusing on the Oxford Movement s standard luminaries Newman, John Keble, Richard Hurrell Froude, and Edward Pusey. As such, Herring s work fills a significant lacuna in the field.---Reading Religion
