The book titled ''The Church of England and the Maccabees: Or the History of the Maccabees Considered with Reference to the Present Condition and Prospects of the Church, Two Sermons'' was written by Christopher Wordsworth and published in 1876. The book is a compilation of two sermons delivered by the author, which explore the historical significance of the Maccabees and their relevance to the contemporary state and future prospects of the Church of England.The Maccabees were a Jewish family who led a successful rebellion against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE. The author draws parallels between the Maccabean revolt and the challenges faced by the Church of England during the 19th century, particularly in the wake of the Oxford Movement and the rise of Anglo-Catholicism.Through his sermons, Wordsworth argues that the Maccabees’ steadfast commitment to their faith and their willingness to resist external pressures and influences offer valuable lessons for the Church of England as it navigates its own challenges and seeks to maintain its identity and integrity. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the historical and theological connections between the Maccabees and the Church of England, and is sure to be of interest to scholars and lay readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
