Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Chronicle of the Archbishops of Canterbury The prominent part played in English history by the archbishops of Canterbury is a striking proof of the dominating influence exercised by the Christian Church in the making of our state and nation. Throughout many centuries few political or social crises occurred in our history in which the ruling successor of St. Augustine did not take a leading part. Though in this long line of illustrious prelates stretching from the sixth to the twentieth century many were justly accused of being led through ambition to neglect ecclesiastical for state affairs, yet of few can it be said that they died faithless at heart to the Church they served. Within the scope of this volume it is of course impossible to treat the subject in detail, and no attempt has been made to write a history of the Church of England. But as no work in one volume has hitherto appeared giving a simple chronicle of the chief facts and events connected with the lives of all the primates of Canterbury from St. Augustine to Dr. Randall Davidson it is hoped that the present compilation may prove of value both to the general reader and to the student of history. Dr. Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, after reading some of the proof sheets writes: - "I think the book is likely to be of genuine value, and I shall welcome its appearance. Obviously the more important part of it will be that which contains the lives of those Archbishops who have not had Dean Hook as their biographer - i.e., from the Restoration to the present day. There is no handy volume containing these lives in any adequate form." The author desires to acknowledge valuable help rendered during the preparation of the work by the Rev. Claude Jenkins, Librarian Lambeth Palace, who very kindly suggested many sources whence information was derived concerning the lives of individual archbishops.
