The Spirit of Anglicanism
Book •
Paul Elmer More's essay examines the distinct character of Anglicanism by surveying 17th-century English ecclesiastical writers and sources; it situates Anglicanism as both Catholic and Protestant and explores its theological and historical development.
More frames the era from Hooker's publication through the non-juror schism and highlights figures like Hooker and Laud as formative for what he calls the Anglican spirit.
The essay served as an accessible introduction in anthologies of Anglican divines, often used to orient readers to Caroline theology and the English Reformation's distinctives.
More engages with themes of doctrinal diversity, comprehensiveness, and the balance between tradition, scripture, and reason in Anglican identity.
The piece is commonly reprinted in collections of Anglican writings and is used by modern Anglicans to discuss classical formularies such as the 39 Articles.
