Eminent Tractarians explores contemporary issues of religion and morality, capitalism and social conscience, through a close examination of the lives of four people who followed the doctrines of the Oxford Revival: William Gibbs, a merchant in the early 1800s; William Butterfield, a church architect practising during the Gothic Revival of the 1840s; Thomas Heywood, a nineteenth-century banker who supported poor and working people through his patronage; and finally the theatre entrepreneur Lilian Baylis, whose eccentric life bridged the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Tractarians was the name given to the leaders of the Oxford Revival because of their issuing a series of 'Tracts for the Times' between 1833 and 1841. John Greaves traces the history of the Movement, which was launched initially in 1833 to establish the Church of England as an institution founded by Jesus himself, as distinct from all human forms of government. It distinguished itself eventually as a strengthening of the High Church nature of Anglicanism, with a strong emphasis on social responsibility, and as a successor to the Evangelical and Methodist revivals of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The overarching theme of honourableness in business and personal life is as relevant now as it ever was.

L'autore:
Canon John Neville Greaves was born in Altrincham, Cheshire, and worked as a trainee hotels and catering manager, then an accountant, on the London and North Eastern Railway. After ten years as an atheist and a student of philosophy and politics, he was called to ordination following a vivid conversion experience. He served in parishes in Salford and Manchester, and then in the Diocese of Durham (as Rural Dean of Durham and lecturer on Ministry). Post-retirement he took a Master s Degree in Politics and Theology, with a dissertation on modern Germany. He now lives in (partial) retirement in Shropshire, assisting in the Church in Wales.
