Tracts for the Times is a seminal collection of treatises on Anglican theology, published in the 1830s and 1840s. Written by scholars associated with the University of Oxford, including John Henry Newman, these tracts advocated a return to the traditions of the early Church and sparked a major controversy within the Anglican community. Records of the Church, a companion series to Tracts for the Times, presented historical evidence to support the arguments made in the tracts and further promoted the authors' vision for the Anglican Church.
