Ethos, History, and Religious Parties
This chapter considers how far ethos determined the Tractarian stance towards the Reformers, the English Reformation, Church parties (Evangelical and High Church), and the Church of England itself. It also studies the Oxford Movement's historical analysis and predictions about how a defective ethos (Evangelical or High Church) leads toward rationalism, and later to infidelity. It ends with a study of the controversy about the arguments in favour or against remaining in the Church of England.
Keywords: Reformation, English Reformers, Evangelicals, High Church, Oxford Movement, Tractarianism, ethos, conversion
