The strife and dissension surrounding the seventeenth-century English Civil War left many clergy and theologians tracing their way back to the roots of their faith. Many prioritized debating theological minutiae over caring for parishioners’ spiritual health; others sought to refocus on practical care William Beveridge, bishop of St. Asaph, was one such frustrated churchman, looking for stability and truth in a world of tumult. His desire to see the Church of England restored to the early church’s spirit and structure is evident in many of his works. The Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology’s 12-volume Theological Works of William Beveridge includes his monumental description and defense of the early church’s form and function, Codex Canonum Ecclesiae Primitivae, The Church Catechism Explained, his brief volume on prayer and communion, as well as his sermons on the true nature of the Church.
