Three Letters To The W. Palmer On The Name Protestant, On The Seemingly Double Character Of The English Church, And On The Bishopric At Jerusalem (1842)

""Three Letters to W. Palmer on the Name Protestant, on the Seemingly Double Character of the English Church, and on the Bishopric at Jerusalem"" is a book written by Frederick Denison Maurice and published in 1842. The book is a collection of three letters that Maurice wrote to W. Palmer, addressing various theological and ecclesiastical issues of the time. In the first letter, Maurice discusses the term ""Protestant"" and its meaning, arguing that it has become a divisive label that does not accurately reflect the beliefs of the Church of England. He suggests that Christians should focus on their common ground rather than their differences. The second letter addresses the seemingly contradictory nature of the Church of England, which is both Catholic and Protestant in its traditions and practices. Maurice argues that this duality is not a weakness, but rather a strength that allows the Church to be inclusive and adaptable to different contexts. The third letter is a response to Palmer's proposal for a bishopric in Jerusalem. Maurice expresses his support for the idea but also raises concerns about the potential political implications of such a move. He argues that the Church should prioritize its spiritual mission over any political agenda. Overall, ""Three Letters to W. Palmer"" is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the key issues facing the Church of England in the mid-19th century. Maurice's writing is insightful and nuanced, and his perspectives on these topics remain relevant to this day.With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
