Abstract

John Keble’s sermon, delivered in the University church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford, on July 14th, 1833, remains perhaps the most famous post-Reformation English sermon. The text of this edition is drawn from Keble’s "Sermons, Academical and Occasional", second edition; it contains detailed hyperlinked annotation and a summary, introduction, reading list and biographical note by Arthur Burns, professor of Modern British History at King’s College London.
The sermon has been commonly regarded as the foundation document of the Oxford Movement, one of the most influential of nineteenth-century English religious movements. In his introduction, Professor Burns considers both how significant it in fact was in the origins of the Oxford Movement and to what extent it was characteristic of its author and the Movement.John Keble’s sermon, delivered in the University church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford, on July 14th, 1833, remains perhaps the most famous post-Reformation English sermon.
