Introduction to Reformational Anglicanism
This course surveys the principal historical and theological features of the Anglican tradition as rooted in the Scriptures and in the faith and practice of the historic Church, and commends the recovery and advance of that tradition for the Anglican Church today and tomorrow. This course is designed to serve as a thorough but accessible overview of Anglican identity for the benefit of both new and long experienced Anglicans. Using J. I. Packer’s book The Heritage of Anglican Theology (Crossway, 2021) as a main text, this course explores the English Reformation, Puritan theology, Richard Hooker, the Caroline Divines, and introduces and evaluates alternative traditions including the Oxford Movement and Anglo-Catholicism, among other events and figures. Taught by Dr. Benjamin Fischer, who is President of The Anglican Connection, Rector of Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, Nampa, ID (Rocky Mountain Diocese), and a member of Greystone’s Anglican Studies Committee.
