| Summary |
"Short Reasons for Communion with the Church of England" by Thomas Tregenna Biddulph is a theological treatise written in the early 19th century. This book presents arguments advocating for the significance of maintaining membership in the Church of England, addressing the context of religious affiliation and personal conviction. It likely emerges from a period marked by a strong focus on ecclesiastical identity in response to the broader Protestant Reformation and its consequences. In this work, Biddulph outlines various reasons for his allegiance to the Church of England, emphasizing points such as its historical continuity, the authority of its episcopal governance, adherence to scriptural doctrines, and the importance of established forms of worship. He argues against disconnection from the Church without justified reasoning and stresses the necessity of individual introspection in faith. Ultimately, Biddulph’s intent is not only to reinforce his commitment but to strengthen the faith of others within the Church, encouraging them to consider their spiritual condition relative to their communal belief.
