About this listen

Dive into this compelling 1866 exploration of the Church of England during a pivotal era of transformation. Authored by Anthony Trollope, who transitioned from a High Church perspective to a Broad Church viewpoint, this work captures the essence of theological liberalism—embracing diverse beliefs, valuing individual conscience, and navigating the complexities of truth amid extremes. This book delves into the crises of faith and structural upheaval within the Victorian Church, showcasing Trollopes engaging narrative style. Notably, the final chapter touches on John William Colenso, a groundbreaking figure known for his progressive biblical interpretations and advocacy for African natives, whose ideas sparked considerable debate. - Summary by David Wales
