The True Church: Viewed In Contrast With Modern High-Churchism, written by Thomas Finch and published in 1841, is a religious text that aims to provide a critical analysis of the contemporary state of the Church of England. The book argues that the true essence of Christianity has been lost amidst the increasing prevalence of High-Churchism, which is characterized by a focus on ritualistic practices and a hierarchical structure. Finch argues that the true Church should prioritize the teachings of Christ and the principles of the Bible above all else, and that the Church of England has strayed from this path. He criticizes the Church's reliance on external forms of worship, such as the use of elaborate vestments and the recitation of prayers, arguing that these practices have become more important than the spiritual content of the faith. Throughout the book, Finch provides a historical perspective on the development of the Church of England, tracing its evolution from its origins in the Protestant Reformation to its current state. He also draws on contemporary debates within the Church, including the controversy over the Oxford Movement, to support his arguments. Overall, The True Church: Viewed In Contrast With Modern High-Churchism is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of the Church of England and the true nature of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
