Information about the course
The course offers an introductory study of the Anglican tradition from the arrival of Christianity in Britain to the beginning of the twenty-first century. The unifying theme of the course is the character of Anglican identity within diversity. Given that the Anglican world is culturally very diverse, and that it comprehends a considerable variety of theological, liturgical, and ecclesiastical expressions, what is it to be an Anglican? Closely allied with this theme is the question of Anglican authority. How do Anglicans decide how (or whether) to answer the question, "What it is to be an Anglican?"
The course's primary purposes are: (1) to give students a survey knowledge of the highlights of Anglican history and theological conversation, particularly in connection with the themes of Anglican identity and authority; (2) to engage students with a few specific important documents which were theologically influential in their day and which illustrate significant themes, events, and personalities in Anglican history.
