(James Endell) Primitive Christian Worship Or, The Evidence of Holy Scripture and the Church, Against the Invocation of Saints and Angels, and the Blessed Virgin Mary Produced by David King, The Million Book Project and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "Primitive Christian Worship" by James Endell Tyler is a theological treatise published in the mid-19th century that focuses on the practices and beliefs surrounding Christian worship, particularly in the context of the invocation of saints and angels, including the Virgin Mary. The book addresses the doctrinal disputes between the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions, aiming to explore the foundations of these practices against the backdrop of Scripture and early Church teachings. The opening portion of the work establishes the author's intentions and the context for his investigation. Tyler expresses concern over the divisions and animosity between the Roman and Anglican churches, advocating for a reasoned and charitable examination of their differences surrounding the invocation of saints. He emphasizes the importance of personal inquiry into the foundations of faith, pointing out that, while the pursuit of truth is paramount, it should occur without hostility. Tyler then outlines the framework for his examination, noting the historical development of worship practices and the theological implications of invoking saints and angels, and firmly commits to a focus on early church writings prior to the Nicene Council, suggesting a core argument against these practices based on biblical evidence.
