The Apology Of The Church Of England (1719)

The Apology of the Church of England is a historical work written by John Jewel, a prominent bishop in the 16th century. It was originally published in 1562, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, as a response to the criticisms and accusations made against the Church of England by the Roman Catholic Church.In this book, Jewel defends the Church of England's practices and beliefs, such as its rejection of the authority of the Pope, the use of the English language in worship, and the importance of Scripture as the ultimate authority in matters of faith. He also addresses the accusations of heresy and schism leveled against the Church of England by the Roman Catholic Church.The Apology of the Church of England is considered an important work in the history of the English Reformation, as it provides a clear and concise defense of the Church of England's position and beliefs. It is also an important document in the history of religious freedom, as it argues for the right of individuals and communities to worship and interpret Scripture according to their own conscience.This edition of the book was published in 1719, more than a century after its original publication, and includes an introduction by the editor, as well as notes and annotations to help modern readers understand the historical context and significance of Jewel's work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
