The Oxford Movement was one of the most influential trends of the 19th century and paved the way for enormous changes in both theology and liturgical practice within the Church of England. It began as an intellectual movement at Oxford University and became the inspiration for a new way of being church and was behind a renaissance of church building, particularly in inner-city slums. This work is an introduction to the movement, written at an accessible level, which should be of interest to students, clergy and those with an interest in church history.
