Tractarianism, also known as the Oxford Movement, emerged in the 1830s within the Church of England. It aimed to restore traditional practices and beliefs, emphasizing the importance of the sacraments, the authority of the church, and the continuity of the Christian faith. The movement sought to counteract the growing influence of liberal theology and secularism. Key figures in Tractarianism included John Henry Newman, John Keble, and Edward Bouverie Pusey. They published a series of pamphlets called the Tracts for the Times, which articulated their views and encouraged a return to the church's historical roots. The movement significantly influenced Anglicanism and contributed to the development of Anglo-Catholicism.
