The Oxford History of Anglicanism thus supplies an invaluable study of the Anglican Church's importance and influence for any scholar of these periods, even those not directly engaged with ecclesiastical or religious history. This is especially important for volume II, which finally puts to rest the pervasive Victorian view of the eighteenth-century Church as spiritually lifeless and corrupt.
