Overview
The Contributors to the Tracts for the Times—a group of Oxford Movement leaders—first published Plain Sermons in 10 volumes between 1839 and 1848. The group maintained the fundamental ecclesiology of the Church of England was Catholic, rather than Protestant. As part of the Oxford Movement’s push for the reinstatement of lost Christian traditions and reintegration with the Roman Catholic Church, Plain Sermons was published to counterbalance the theoretical arguments of the Tracts for the Times with day-to-day application.

The subjects treated of in the ‘Tracts’ were not set forth as mere parts of ideal systems, or as themes for disputation, matters only of sentiment, or party, or idle speculation, but are rather urged as truths of immediate and essential importance, bearing more or less directly on our every day behaviour, means of continual resource and consolation in life, and of calm and sure hope in death.
