Title: Subscription the disgrace of the English Church [1st edition]
Credits: Transcribed from the 1843 Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans [first edition] by David Price
Summary: "Subscription the disgrace of the English Church [1st edition]" by C. N. Wodehouse is a theological critique written in the early 19th century. The book examines the issues surrounding the practice of clergy subscription to the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion within the Church of England, expressing concern over the division and misunderstanding that this practice has caused among both clergy and laity. Wodehouse argues that the current state of subscription has led to a loss of integrity and clarity within the Church, creating a scandal rather than a safeguard for faith. In this work, Wodehouse details the historic context and implications of Subscription, asserting that it has devolved into a source of disunity and hypocrisy among church leaders. He highlights how disagreements over the Articles undermine their intended purpose of fostering ideological cohesion and erode public trust in Church authority. Throughout the text, he calls for a reconsideration of the subscription process, suggesting that a more coherent and consistent approach to the Articles might restore the Church's credibility and spiritual integrity. Ultimately, the book serves as a passionate appeal for reform within the English Church, emphasizing the need for honesty and sincerity in matters of faith.
