Nineteenth-Century Anglican Theological Training - The Redbrick Challenge

Zusatztext Dowland's book is a significant addition to the literature dealing with the Church of England in the nineteenth century ... Dowland clearly demonstrates his understanding of nineteenth century Anglican theological training, and he also handles important questions of class and status in an articulate and scholarly fashion. This book gives another insight into the changing climate of Anglicanism from the perspective of the theological education of is clergy. Klappentext David Dowland presents one of the few major studies of Anglican theological training during its formative period - the nineteenth century. It describes the innovation of training large numbers of middle-class and lower-middle-class men for the ministry, and considers the conflict between this development and the traditional ideals of the Church of England. Zusammenfassung David Dowland presents one of the first analytical accounts of Anglican theological training during its formative period, the nineteenth century. Until this time Oxford and Cambridge had been recognized as the most desirable sources of Anglican clergymen, but there was to be an upsurgence of little-known colleges attended by lower-middle-class ordinands which cut across the assumption that the training received at the fashionable colleges was superior. Dowland discusses the official attitudes towards the innovation of training large numbers of middle-class and lower-middle-class men for the ministry in an industrial age where a shift of power to the lower classes was widespread.
