The Anglo-Catholic Use of Two Lights Upon the Altar is a historical book written by George Ayliffe Poole in 1840. The book focuses on the use of two candles on the altar in Anglo-Catholic worship. Poole explores the origins of this practice, tracing it back to the early Christian church and the symbolism behind the use of two lights.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of the use of candles in Christian worship, while the second part focuses specifically on the use of two candles on the altar. The third part examines the controversy surrounding this practice in the Church of England.Throughout the book, Poole argues that the use of two candles on the altar is an important part of Anglo-Catholic worship, and that it should be preserved and defended. He provides detailed explanations of the theological and symbolic significance of the two lights, and defends the practice against critics who argue that it is unnecessary or even idolatrous.Overall, The Anglo-Catholic Use of Two Lights Upon the Altar is an important historical document that sheds light on the history and practice of Anglo-Catholicism. It provides a detailed and nuanced exploration of the use of candles in Christian worship, and offers valuable insights into the theological and symbolic significance of this practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
