Historical Dictionary Of Anglicanism (Historical Dictionaries Of Religions, Philosophies, And Movements Series)

Anglicanism originated in 1534 when British Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy, which transferred papal power over the Church of England to the king. Today, approximately 550 dioceses are located around the world--not only in England but anywhere touched by the British Empire. With a membership estimated at 80 million members, the Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian communion in the world. This second edition of "Historical Dictionary of Anglicanism" contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, concepts and institutions, rituals and liturgy, and events and national communities. The book is an excellent reference for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Anglicanism.
