"The Real Question as to Altar Lights" by Edward James Phipps is a theological discourse written during the mid-19th century, specifically in 1865. This work is presented as a letter addressed to the Reverend John W. H. Molyneux, discussing the theological and legal implications of using altar lights within the context of the Anglican Church. The book delves into the traditional and ceremonial aspects of the Eucharist and seeks to defend the practice of having altar lights despite objections from church authorities. In the text, Phipps argues passionately in favor of the use of altar lights, marking them as essential components of the liturgical practice that contribute to a sense of reverence and faith within the church. He discusses the historical context of altar lights, their legal standing based on ecclesiastical laws, and the theological significance of the Holy Eucharist, emphasizing the belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the sacrament. Phipps expresses concern over the declining reverence for the Eucharistic celebration, pointing out that many do not grasp the full meaning of the sacrament and its implications for the faith community. Through this letter, he seeks to encourage clergy to uphold traditional practices like altar lights as a means of fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the church's teachings.
