The Broad Church : a biography of a movement
"The Broad Church: A Biography of a Movement is an account of the origins and directions of the Broad Church movement from the beginning of the nineteenth century to about 1880. Tod E. Jones takes a unique approach to the movement, sketching the complex web connecting both important individuals and generations of great thinkers. The opinions and correspondence of key figures such as Thomas Arnold, Matthew Arnold, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Alfred Tennyson are examined, as are general questions about the Broad Church movement's roots and the Erasmian influence on England's church reformers. A work of immense depth, The Broad Church sketches the friendships and influences that made this movement such a significant cultural power and provides a comparative analysis of its diverse and brilliant principal thinkers."--BOOK JACKET
