Church of England and Christian Antiquity - The Construction of a Confessional Identity in the 17th Century

Zusatztext Quantin's work is a vital addition to the library of any scholar who wants to understand a crucial period of Anglican myth-making. The image of the Anglican patristic scholar is still very much alive and we all have much to be grateful to Quantin for so clearly charting its creation.

Klappentext Jean-Louis Quantin shows how the appeal to Christian antiquity played a key role in the construction of a new confessional identity, 'Anglicanism', maintaining that theologians of the Church of England came to consider that their Church occupied a unique position, because it alone was faithful to the beliefs and practices of the Church Fathers.
