The Ritual Reason Why

by Charles Walker Cap (Editor)

The Ritual Reason Why is a book written by Charles Walker in 1868. The book explores the history and significance of various religious rituals and practices within the Anglican Church. Walker argues that these rituals are not arbitrary or superfluous, but rather have deep theological and symbolic meanings that are essential to the Christian faith. He draws on historical and biblical sources to explain the origins and evolution of these rituals, and provides insights into their spiritual significance. The book is aimed at both clergy and laypeople, and is intended to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Anglican worship. The Ritual Reason Why remains a significant work in the history of Anglican theology and liturgy, and continues to be studied and referenced by scholars and practitioners of the faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
