The Oxford History of Anglicanism is a major new and unprecedented international study of the identity and historical influence of one of the world’s largest versions of Western Christianity. This global study of Anglicanism from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first looks at how Anglican identity was constructed and contested since the English Reformation of the sixteenth century; and what was its historical influence during the past six centuries. It explores not just the ecclesiastical and theological aspects of global Anglicanism, but also the political, social, economic, and cultural influences of this form of Christianity that has been historically significant in Western culture, and a burgeoning force in non-Western societies from the nineteenth century onwards. The chapters are written by international exports in their various historical fields, and they include the most recent research in their areas as well as original research. Each volume pays attention to the various varieties of Anglicanism that have emerged at various times over the past six centuries. Also included in the series is critical attention to the formal, political, institutional, and ecclesiastical forces that have shaped a global Anglicanism over six centuries; and to the interaction of Anglicanism with informal, cultural, and economic influences which have both moulded Anglicanism and been fashioned by it.
