Popery and Puseyism: Being Two Discourses Prepared Agreeable to a Resolution of the Synod of Pittsburgh of 1843 and Preached Before that Body at Pittsburgh, September 1844
Lewis Warner Green and Alexander Taggart McGill
The “two discourses” mentioned on the title page of this book are Lewis Warner Green’s “Right of Private Judgment” and Alexander Taggart McGill’s “Puseyism: Another Form of Antichrist.” Both sermons are a reaction against the Oxford Movement, an effort to return the Church of England to its pre-Reformation roots and the teachings of the Church Fathers. Its name came from Oxford, where most of its leaders lived and worked; it was also known as the “Anglo-Catholic revival” and sometimes as “Puseyism,” after one of its central figures, Edward Bouverie Pusey (1800-1882).
The “Synod” in the title of this book is probably the Third General Synod of the Associate Reformed Church, which met in Pittsburgh in May 1843. The Minutes of that meeting include a
Report lamenting that “Popery is securing many victims, in some portions of our territory,” but the Resolution itself is not included in the document.
