The Christian Year

"The Christian Year" by John Keble is a series of poems written in 1827 for the Sundays and feasts of the Church of England's liturgical calendar. This devotional work became the most popular volume of verse in the nineteenth century, with over 375,000 copies sold by 1873. Several of its poems became beloved hymns. Initially published anonymously, its success led to Keble's appointment as Oxford Professor of Poetry and significantly influenced the Oxford Movement.

National Apostasy
 Considered in a Sermon Preached in St. Mary's Church, Oxford Before His Majesty's Judges of Assize on Sunday July 14th 1833

"National Apostasy" by John Keble is a sermon preached on July 14, 1833, at Oxford University. Delivered amid growing tensions between the Church of England and an increasingly secular government, Keble's sermon warns of England's spiritual decline and urges believers to remain faithful through prayer and Christian virtue. Traditionally considered the starting point of the Oxford Movement, this controversial address challenged governmental interference in church affairs and called listeners to resist the nation's drift from religious principle.
