Excerpt from The Church: Or What Do Anglicans Mean by the Church?

IN this Edition I have made considerable alterations in the arrangement of the book. I have placed at the beginning the chapters on the Nature of the Church. In these chapters I consider, first, what a Church must be, if it is to be anything worth discussion; and then, what must be its characteristics and constitution if it is to carry out the purposes for which it was established.

These subjects are discussed in three chapters which consider What is a Church? The Church as Christ's Witness on Earth, and The Church as the appointed Teacher and Guide of Men.

These questions appear to me to be the very centre of all religious controversy, and I think they are often overlooked, whilst other subjects, really less important, are put more prominently forward.
