Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the Catholic Revival A story moves us in proportion as it appeals to our imagination, and the narrative which is given in the following pages pre-eminently makes such an appeal. It is the story of men whose lives were given to a cause which stretches back into the distant past, intimately concerns the present, and must be the most potent factor in the history of the future. It is the history of principles, and the record of events, the importance of which - less clearly apprehended at the time they occurred - reveal themselves, when seen in the perspective of the past, as the determining causes which control the course of history and the destinies of the world. For Christians the key to human history is to be found in the purposes of God for the Church, and none can be really acquainted with the history of the Church of England for the last eighty years without realizing that the Catholic Revival in the Church of England is not merely, as it has so well been called, "the Romance of the 19th Century," but the fact which gives the history of that century in England its real interest, and invests it not merely with a national, but with a world-wide importance. That history is well told by Mr. Kelway in the pages to which these few words are prefixed. It is a history which speaks for itself, and which wants no words of commendation from such as myself.
