Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This extensive volume unravels the Bible Society's controversial impact on the stability of the Church of England. The author, a concerned clergyman, exposes how the Bible Society's professed aim of solely distributing Scripture was a ruse to avoid divisive theological debate and to unite diverse religious groups under its banner. He presents a selection of official documents and private correspondence to illustrate the ambitious scope of the Bible Society's operations and the divisive tactics used to gain support. The author himself was drawn into a correspondence with a zealous advocate for the Bible Society, which is included in the book. The author makes the compelling argument that the Bible Society's emphasis on Bible distribution to the neglect of interpretation contradicted the principles of the Church of England and set aside the authority of the priesthood. This had far-reaching implications for the stability of the Church, as it undermined the role of ordained ministers and opened the door to sectarianism. The book provides a valuable insight into the historical context of the Bible Society's rise and influence, and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of undermining established religious institutions.
