Originally published in 1945, this book presents the content of Norman Sykes' inaugural lecture upon taking up the position of Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge University. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in theology and the history of Christianity.
In this book Professor Sykes considers the Anglican attitude towards episcopacy, presbyterianism and papacy since the Reformation.
The Church historian is often required to be a student of dogma as much as of history. It is the complex relationships between history, Church history and theology that Dr Sykes examines, using as illustrations some of the vital issues arising from the revival of interest in Church history in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Professor Sykes draws upon the scholarship of a lifetime in assessing these developments, and these challenges, and From Sheldon to Secker remains essential, and engaging, reading for all students of what would now be called the long eighteenth century.
