Oxford Movement
Tractarian religious revival
The Oxford Movement was a nineteenth-century effort within the Church of England to restore Catholic traditions and theology that had been stripped away during the Protestant Reformation.
Centered at Oxford University in the 1830s and 1840s, its leaders argued for the church's continuity with pre-Reformation Christianity.
The movement produced Anglo-Catholicism and prompted some members, most notably John Henry Newman, to convert to Roman Catholicism.
