The Oxford Movement is often thought of as simply a revival within Anglicanism of High Church principles. The author shows that it was a movement for spiritual renewal with insights for all Christians today. Using the literary device of the dream, the author meets John Henry Newman, Edward Pusey and their friends, revealing the contemporary relevance of their ideas. He learns of their reservations about evangelical Christianity and the legacy of the Reformation, he discovers their attitude to the Bible and their appreciation of the forgotten idea of sanctity, he finds out how they approached the preaching of the gospel, and above all, he comes to understand their passion for a faith which was "real" rather than nominal, superficial and formal. Roger Steer is also the author of "George Muller: Delighted in God", "George Muller: A Biography for Children", "A Living Reality", "Admiring God", "Hudson Taylor: A Man in Christ" and "Love Will Find a Way".
