The Ritual Reason Why (1868)

""The Ritual Reason Why"" is a book written by Charles Walker and first published in 1868. It is a detailed exploration of the history and significance of the various rituals and practices associated with the Anglican Church. Walker examines the origins of these rituals, their development over time, and their theological significance. He also addresses the controversies that have arisen around certain rituals, such as the use of vestments, the sign of the cross, and the use of incense. Throughout the book, Walker argues that these rituals are not mere superstitions or empty formalities, but rather have a deep spiritual significance and are essential to the worship of God. He draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the history of the Church, to support his arguments. ""The Ritual Reason Why"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Anglican Church, as well as for those seeking to understand the role of ritual in Christian worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
