He argues that the Tractarians are promoting a form of Roman Catholicism that is incompatible with the Anglican tradition. Edison also defends the Protestant Reformation and the principles of the English Reformation.The book is a significant contribution to the theological debates of the 19th century and sheds light on the tensions within the Church of England during this period.
