Subscription

Subscription: The Disgrace Of The English Church is a book written by Charles Nourse Wodehouse and originally published in 1843. The book is a scathing critique of the Church of England and its practices, particularly the system of subscription, which required clergy members to adhere to a set of beliefs and doctrines in order to maintain their positions within the church. Wodehouse argues that this system was deeply flawed and led to a lack of intellectual freedom and diversity within the church. He also criticizes the church's treatment of dissenters and its unwillingness to adapt to changing social and political conditions. The book is written in a passionate and persuasive style, and it reflects the author's deep commitment to religious reform and social justice. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the religious, political, and cultural debates of the early Victorian era, and it remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
