Brill The Anglican Eucharist in Australia: The History, Theology, and Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia
Book SynopsisIn The Anglican Eucharist in Australia, Brian Douglas explores the History, Theology, and Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia. The story begins with the first white settlement in 1788 and continues to the present day. The three eucharistic liturgies used in the ACA, and the debates that led to them, are examined in depth: The Book of Common Prayer (1662); An Australian Prayer Book (1978); and A Prayer Book for Australia (1995). The deep sacramentality of the Aboriginal people is acknowledged and modern issues such as liturgical development, lay presidency and virtual Eucharists are also explored. The book concludes with some suggestions for the further development of eucharistic liturgies within the ACA.Trade Review"This volume adds worthily to the Brill series of ‘Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History’. Douglas’s work is definitive and irreplaceable. ." - Colin Buchanan, Assistant Bishop, Diocese of Leeds, in: Journal of Anglican Studies (2022). "The history, theology and liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia has never been written until Dr Douglas’ present book. In a sustained and well researched manner the author brings to light the details, controversies and underlying theological and philosophical concerns that have imprinted themselves on the subject. He is to be congratulated on undertaking this task in such a masterful manner." - Stephen Pickard, Executive Director, Charles Sturt University. "The significance of the book is its combination of history, ecclesiology, and the careful analysis of specific liturgical texts in this framework and the impact of the dynamics of decision making in a synodical church. It is also useful as a substantial exposition of an important aspect of Anglicanism in Australia from its beginnings as a British military colony for exiled convicts. The book will be of interest to liturgical scholars and clergy around the world and also those interested in a vital aspect of Anglicanism in Australia, which has not hitherto been available, to a wider reading public. It should figure on reading lists in seminaries around the world." - Bruce Kaye, Professor, Charles Sturt University.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements IX Abbreviations X 1 A Multiformity of Assumptions in the Anglican Church of Australia 1 The Anglican Church of Australia 2 The Notion of Sacramentality 3 Philosophical Assumptions 4 Overview of This Book 2 The Colonial Period in Australia, 1788–1829 1 The Coming of the First Fleet and the First Eucharist 2 Johnson’s Understanding of the Eucharist 3 Johnson’s Evangelical Heritage 4 Johnson’s Appointment as Chaplain 5 Sacramentality? 6 The 1662 Book of Common Prayer and Eucharistic Theology 7 Public Worship in the Early Penal Colony 3 Broughton and the Growth of the Church of England in Australia 1829–1860 1 Broughton Influenced by Tractarianism 2 Defections to Rome: Robert Knox Sconce and Thomas Cooper Makinson 3 Militant Protestants: Peter Beamish and Francis Russell 4 Bishop Broughton’s Innovations in Worship 5 Other Bishops 6 Broughton’s Successor – Bishop Barker 4 The Eucharistic and Sacramental Theology of the Colonial Bishops 1 The Bishops and Differing Sacramental Theologies 2 The Bishop’s Conference of 1850 3 William Grant Broughton – Bishop of Sydney 4 Charles Perry, Bishop of Melbourne 5 Francis Nixon, Bishop of Tasmania 5 Eucharistic Theology in Significant Parishes in the Diocese of Sydney 1 St James King Street, Sydney 2 Christ Church St Laurence, Sydney 6 Party Division 1860–1960 1 Party Division 2 The Diocese of Sydney – Two Significant Parishes Continued 3 The Diocese of Adelaide 4 The Diocese of Melbourne 5 St Peter’s Eastern Hill, Melbourne 6 The Province of Queensland 7 Other Dioceses 8 Impetus for Revision 9 Alternatives to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer 10 The 1928 Book of Common Prayer 11 Departures from the Use and Theology of the 1662 BCP 12 Conclusion 7 Preparing for An Australian Prayer Book 1 Moving towards a Prayer Book 2 English Series 1 3 English Series 2 4 English Series 3 8 The Beginnings of Prayer Book Revision in Australia 1 Trial Uses and the Constitution 2 1966 Report of the Prayer Book Commission of the Church of England in Australia 3 A Liturgy for Africa 4 A Service of Holy Communion for Australia, 1969 (Australia, ’69) 5 Sunday Services Revised, 1972 6 A Service of Holy Communion for Australia, 1973 (Australia ’73) 7 Liturgical Arrangements 9 An Australian Prayer Book (AAPB) 1978 1 The Publication of An Australian Prayer Book 1978 2 The Eucharistic Liturgies of AAPB 10 Reflections on the Eucharist at the Time of An Australian Prayer Book 1978 1 Latimer Monograph III: The Service of Holy Communion and its Revision (1972) 2 What Mean Ye by This Service?

Brill Neville Figgis, CR: His Life, Thought and Significance
Book SynopsisJohn Neville Figgis, CR (1866-1919) was a brilliant Anglican theologian, historian, political thinker and preacher; he was also a monk. This volume of a dozen freshly commissioned essays by eminent scholars retrieves, expounds and critiques his thought and relates it to the culturally pluralist theological, ethical and political situation in which we find ourselves in the twenty-first century. Although Figgis’ significance is widely acknowledged by scholars, little has been written about him. Figgis has an uncontested place in Anglican and Episcopal thought and is overdue for a concerted study of the many facets of his work and importance.Table of ContentsForeword Preface Notes on Contributors John Neville Figgis: A Timeline of His Life and Major Publications 1 The Life and Death of John Neville Figgis, C.R.

Brill The Shape of Anglican Theology: Faith Seeking Wisdom
Book SynopsisThere are numerous books that offer an historical account of Anglican theology or that detail the lives and work of particular Anglican theologians. Books that focus on the nature and character of Anglican theology itself, however, are hard to find. This volume fills that gap. In The Shape of Anglican Theology, Scott MacDougall examines what it is that makes Anglican theology Anglican. Beginning with a treatment of the ways in which Anglican theology is and is not distinct from other types of Christian theology, he describes the theological features that mark the general boundaries of Anglican theologizing before turning to consider a set of eight interconnected characteristics that provide Anglican theology with its distinctive profile. MacDougall argues that, by setting its boundaries as widely as possible and requiring subscription to specific theological propositions as little as possible, Anglican theology is in essence a wisdom theology that seeks to build the capacity for faithful Christian discernment in belief and practice.Trade Review"Overall, this is an excellent contribution to the field of Anglican studies. Whereas histories and biographies of Anglicanism and its major figures abound, few have attempted to capture the spirit and shape of Anglican theology in a way that is both faithful to Anglican history and broad enough to encompass Anglican diversity", Randall J. Price in Irish Theological Quarterly 87.4. Scott MacDougall not only perceptively identifies wisdom-seeking as the heart of Anglican theology, he also contributes to the complex ecology that he describes. He illuminates both past and present, vividly portrays key features, and gives a sense of Anglican thinking flourishing in many modes, and full of promise for church, academy and society. - David F. Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Cambridge This is an extremely lucid and beautifully written treatment of what makes Anglican Theology distinctive. MacDougall captures wonderfully both the generous spirit and the discriminating power of Anglican Theology. As a form of faith seeking wisdom, MacDougall argues, Anglican Theology helps us to discern the contours of a properly Christian life, especially on contested questions. - Kathryn Tanner, Frederick Marquand Professor of Systematic Theology, Yale Divinity School Scott MacDougall’s account of the Anglican theological tradition draws discerningly on all the latest theological commentators and concludes that there is indeed a coherent ’shape’ to Anglicanism, one that is more ’sapiential’ (in the Augustinian sense) than strictly ‘intellectual’. Moreover it is a tradition that particularly needs defence today, as new forms of both authoritarianism and relativism undermine our sense of how religious reason and wisdom might be maintained in the face of hostile forces. This is an analysis worthy of close perusal and one to be commended for its depth, balance and scholarly incisiveness. - Sarah Coakley, FBA, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity emerita, University of Cambridge. Scott MacDougall provides a compelling introduction to the rhythms and timbre of Anglican theology. He digs down into Anglicanism's knotted history, and looks upward toward the possibilities that have germinated within that history. He invites readers to recognise the shape of theological endeavour that has come to characterise the Anglican tradition, and to inhabit more fully some of the claims characteristically made of it: to commit to a more diverse, more inclusive, more peaceable exploration of the deep things of God. His is an inviting picture of Anglican theology as an always unfinished communal project, stretching out towards wisdom. - Mike Higton, Professor of Theology and Ministry, Durham University, author of The Life of Christian Doctrine.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgments A Note on Dates and Names Abstract Keywords Introduction: Why the Shape of Anglican Theology? 1 The General Shape of Anglican Theology, Determining Its Domain 2 The General Shape of Anglican Theology, Beating Its Bounds 3 The Particular Shape of Anglican Theology: Specifying Its Character Conclusion: The Shape of Anglican Theology to Come Selected Annotated Bibliography Index

Brill Henry Longueville Mansel: Victorian Theology, Philosophy, and Politics
Book SynopsisHenry Longueville Mansel (1820-1871), Anglican theologian and philosopher, has wrongly been remembered as a Kantian agnostic whose ideas led to those of Herbert Spencer. Francesca Norman’s book provides a thorough revisioning of Mansel’s theology in context and reveals the personal basis of Spencer’s animus towards Mansel. Mansel is revealed as an orthodox Anglican theistic personalist whose ideas inspired Newman to write his Grammar of Assent. Located in context, Mansel’s personal connections with leading Tory figures such as Lord Carnarvon and Benjamin Disraeli are explored. Key controversies with Frederick Denison Maurice and John Stuart Mill are interpreted with reference to the party political elections of 1859 and 1865. Norman offers a vital vision of nineteenth-century theology, philosophy, and politics.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface 1 Introduction 1 Context 2 Methodology 3 Structure 2 Mansel’s Theological and Philosophical Ideas in Context: Biographical Account of Mansel’s Life and Work 1 Introduction 2 Family Background 3 Herbert Spencer and Katherine Mansel 4 Life at Oxford 5 Dean of St Paul’s 6 Conclusion 3 Mansel’s Theological and Philosophical Ideas in Context: The Historical Roots of Mansel’s Thought 1 Introduction 2 Bishop Peter Browne (c.1665–1735) 3 Bishop Joseph Butler (1692–1752) 4 Thomas Reid (1710–1796) 5 Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743–1819) 6 Sir William Hamilton (1788–1856) 7 Conclusion 4 The Content of Mansel’s Philosophical Theology 1 Introduction 2 Theistic Personalism 3 ‘I-Thou’ 4 Free Will 5 Negative Theology and Analogy 6 Prayer 7 Personal Relation 8 Theory of Relativity 9 Rejection of the Absolute 10 Limits of Ethical Knowledge 11 Conclusion 5 Mansel’s Theological and Philosophical Ideas in Context: Initial Reception 1 Introduction 2 Positive Responses (Oxford Tories and Alexander Campbell Fraser) 3 Post-Tractarian and Roman Catholic Responses (William George Ward and John Henry Newman) 4 Reception by ‘Agnostics’ (Herbert Spencer and Thomas Henry Huxley) 5 Metaphysical and Idealist Reactions to Mansel 6 Conclusion 6 Mansel, Political Networks and Personalities 1 Introduction 2 Mansel’s Religious Politics: Anglican Toryism 3 Lord Carnarvon 4 Gathorne Hardy 5 Salisbury 6 Conclusion 7 The 1859 Election and the Maurice Controversy 1 Introduction 2 The Context of the 1859 Election 3 The Mansel-Maurice Controversy in Political Context 4 Outline of a Controversy 5 Maurice and the Carlylean Doctrine of Certainty 6 Conclusion 8 The 1865 Election and the Mill Controversy 1 Introduction 2 After 1859: Gladstone and the Liberal Party 3 The Mansel-Mill Controversy in Political Context 4 Outline of a Controversy 5 Mill and the Comtean Religion of Humanity 6 Conclusion 9 Conclusion 1 Key Findings 2 A Reputation Sidelined 3 St Peter’s and St Paul’s, Cosgrove Appendix: Literature Survey 1 Introduction 2 Victorian Biographical Studies 3 Literature on Mansel and the Agnostic Tradition 4 Mansel, Kierkegaard and Barth 5 Conclusion Bibliography

Brill Building the Church of England: The Book of Common Prayer and the Edwardian Reformation
Book SynopsisWere mid-Tudor evangelicals roaring lions or meek lambs? Did they struggle with a minority complex, or were they comfortable with their position of political ascendancy under Edward VI? How did their theological blueprint of the ‘True Church’ fit their temporal realities? By relocating the Book of Common Prayer at the centre of the English Reformation, Stephen Tong gives new significance to two underacknowledged drivers of reform: ecclesiology and liturgy. Edwardian reformers caused a sensation in England by engaging with these questions, which spilled over into Ireland, and continued to cast a shadow over subsequent generations of the English Protestants.Trade Review"In this clear and thought-provoking study, Stephen Tong moves on from recent historiography to illuminate how the first untrammelled phase of the Protestant Reformation under Edward VI viewed itself and intended to change the Church of England. His refreshingly novel perspective is to reject hindsight, and to avoid viewing the Edwardian Church through the lens of later Elizabethan Puritan/conformist conflict." Diarmaid N.J. MacCulloch, Saint Cross College and Campion Hall, Oxford Building the Church provides a stimulating new perspective on the short-lived Edwardian Reformation. Deftly weaving together the histories of liturgy, theology and ecclesiastical politics, this excellent book illuminates the hidden complexities and the creative dynamism of the evangelical movement and the institution it forged. Peering behind the pious myths that have accumulated around the Edwardian church and prayer book in succeeding centuries, Stephen Tong helps us to better understand both in their own terms. In the process, he successfully recasts our understanding of the significance of the mid-Tudor period in the longer story of the evolution of English Protestantism. A critical intervention in the contested debates about its early history, his book will be vital reading for students and scholars of the Reformation in Britain and further afield.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Anglican Theology by Chapman Mark Author ON
Book SynopsisMark Chapman is Vice-Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, and a Reader in Modern Theology at the University of Oxford, UK. He has written widely on modern church history, ethics and theology. His books include Ernst Troeltsch and Liberal Theology (Oxford), The Coming Crisis (Sheffield), Blair's Britain (DLT) and Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford).Trade ReviewChapman declares that “conflict is the normal state of Anglican theology throughout history”. He illustrates this from the time of the Henrican reformation to the present day. He provides a history of Anglican theology and employs the complementary skills of the historian and the theologian exceptionally well. It is a fascinating story, very well told. Chapman describes Anglicanism’s complexity as both infuriating and exciting. So it is. -- Graham James, Diocese of Norwich * The Expository Times *This book offers an unusual perspective on Anglican identity from the Reformation to the nineteenth century, with some reflections on the state of the Anglican communion today... Illuminates some key moments in the making of Anglican theology... A very useful study text. -- Paul Avis, University of Exeter * Journal of Ecclesiastical History *The wider strength of the work is that it challenges readers (Anglicans, Ordinands, and none of the above) to a kind of ‘resourcement’ within Anglican thought. -- Richard P Whaite, University of Oxford, UK * Theological Book Review *A fascinating story, very well told. Chapman describes Anglicanism's complexity as both infuriating and exciting. So it is. -- Graham James, Diocese of Norwich, UK * Expository Times *Is there such a thing as Anglican Theology? This is what Chapman explores in this rigorous but stimulating book. In a well presented but compact review, he shows how a plurality of theologies - especially of the church and authority - have always characterised Anglicanism.He begins with Henry VIII, but he could as well have begun with Bede and used the same rigorous method. He quotes primary as well as secondary sources and reveals step by step the lack of historical perspective in those who claim that their understanding is the right - or indeed the only - Anglican position. Since a theology of development is always potentially threatening, this timely study is important, not just for the Church of England but for the whole Anglican Communion. -- David Stancliffe, formerly Bishop of Salisbury, UK.Listed in the 'new titles just published' section of the Church Times.Mentioned in an article in the Church of England Newspaper.Table of ContentsChapter One: The Identity of Anglicanism; Chapter Two: Norms and Methods in Anglican Theology I; Chapter Three: Norms and Methods in Anglican Theology II; Chapter Four: Liturgical and Sacramental Theology; Chapter Five: Moral Theology; Chapter Six: Ecclesiology; Conclusion: The future of Anglicanism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Archbishop Ramsey The Shape of the Church The
Book SynopsisArchbishop Michael Ramsey's archiepiscopate from 1961 to 1974 saw profound renegotiations of the relationship of the Church of England with its own flock, with the nation more widely, with the Anglican church worldwide, and with the other Christian churches. Drawing from unique source material in the Lambeth Palace Library archives and reproducing many original writings of Ramsey for the first time, this book explores key questions which surround Ramsey's tenure. How did Ramsey react to the rapid hollowing-out of the regular constituency of the church whilst at the same time seeing sweeping changes in the manner in which the church tried to minister to those members? What was his role in the widening of the church''s global vision, and the growing porousness of its borders with other denominations? And how did the nature of the role of archbishop as figurehead change in this period?Trade Review"A very judicious and comprehensive survey of the thought of one of Anglicanism’s greatest figures, with a sympathetic assessment of his impact on public discussion and decision in Britain during his time as Archbishop. Peter Webster has done an exemplary job in digesting a large amount of primary material, and this is a fine contribution to the understanding of an era as well as of a man." - Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK, and former Archbishop of Canterbury "This is a sparkling and broad-ranging introduction to a fascinating archbishop, written with crisp prose and crystal clarity. Peter Webster is a discerning guide, deep in the sources, and offers a sympathetic reading which sheds new light upon Anglican politics in the long 1960s." - Andrew Atherstone, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, UK "This is an excellent book in every way. It is well researched and lucidly written, revealing a perceptive sympathy with the subject. It is a fine supplement to Owen Chadwick’s Michael Ramsey: A Life, and it also sheds much light on the social, ethical and religious environment in which Ramsey was archbishop. It helps to explain the particular difficulties that have assailed each of his successors as Archbishop of Canterbury, and it is a valuable contribution to an interesting series that draws on the archives of Lambeth Palace." - The Rev'd Douglas Dales, author of Glory - the spiritual theology of Michael Ramsey"There is much of value in this book." - Church Times"Peter Webster’s Archbishop Ramsey: The Shape of the Church is the best introduction to Michael Ramsey’s archiepiscopacy at Canterbury currently available, and should be read by everyone interested in the state of the Church of England in the 1960s." – Sam Brewitt-Taylor in Reviews in History "…archiepiscopal biography has become something of a cottage industry, but Peter Webster’s treatment of the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury does not disappoint." - Jeremy Bonner in The Journal of Ecclesiastical History"For all Michael Ramsey fans this is a must-buy." – Robin Gill in Theology"This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England in the second half of the twentieth century, and in Michael Ramsey especially. It reminds us what a tremendous figure he was." - Peter Waddell in Reviews in Religion and Theology"Peter Webster has brought his in some ways unworldly subject alive in a vivid and well-documented way. It is good to hear Ramsey’s voice again. His vision of a reformed Catholicism lives on, despite everything." – Times Literary Supplement"In Archbishop Ramsey: The Shape of the Church, Peter Webster offers a thoughtful perspective on Ramsey's work as archbishop of Canterbury during an era of great social upheaval in England and throughout the Anglican world.

Batsford Ltd The Archbishops of Canterbury: A Tale of Church
Book SynopsisThe office of Archbishop of Canterbury is the oldest continuous institution in Britain – older than the English crown and much older than Parliament. For over fourteen hundred years, from Augustine in the 6th century to Justin Welby in the 21st, successive Archbishops have been caught up in the transformation of the country from a collection of feudal Saxon kingdoms ruled by warrior kings to a modern industrial state with a democratic parliament and an established Church - as well as the longest reigning sovereign. Some Archbishops have managed the tension between their responsibility to lead the Church and proclaim the gospel and their obligation to serve the interests of the state and its rulers. Others have lost their lives – three executed by the state, while two have met violent deaths at the hands of lawless mobs. This new Pitkin title captures the story of their faith and power, wisdom and folly and explores how high principle is matched at times by craven self-interest.

Beary's historical analysis of racism in the Episcopal Church shines such a powerful floodlight on this truth that racist confessors should no longer be able to hide behind ecclesia's walls."--Paul R. Griffin, Anglican and Episcopal History"This relentlessly honest, scrupulously researched and well-written biography rises above praise and blame and allows the life of a remarkable Christian to speak for itself. In the process, he also illuminates the moral geography of an era." -- Robert Neralich, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette"Beary skillfully narrates the shifting alliances within the Episcopal Church and shows how race was but one aspect of a more elemental struggle for power. He demonstrates how Demby's steadiness of purpose and nonconfrontational manner gathered allies on both sides of the color line and how, ultimately, his judgment and the weight of his experience carried the church past its segregationist experiment." -- African Sun Times"A fine study, not just of the life of an individual, but of an era in the life of the Church. Bishop Demby reminds us that even in the midst of the painful and the unjust, the work of the Spirit cannot be entirely extinguished." -- Caroline T. Marshall, The Historiographer

University of Notre Dame Press Reading in Christian Communities
Book SynopsisThe essays in this book honor and extend the work of Rowan A. Greer, Walter H. Gray Professor Emeritus of Anglican Studies at Yale University Divinity School, by exploring the connections between textual interpretation and the formation of religious identity. A diverse and prestigious group of biblical scholars, church historians, and theologians study the function that scripture plays in the creation and maintenance of faith communities and the ways that communal locations in turn shape the interpretation of scripture.The first part of the book examines specific examples of ancient biblical interpretation as a means of creating, maintaining, and challenging Christian identity in the pluralistic ancient world. Authors study acts of interpretation in the Martyrdom of Polycarp, the Physiologus, Gnostic literature, the fifth-century mosaic of the Church of Hosios David in Thessaloniki, and in the works of Irenaeus, Origen, Augustine, John Chrysostom, and Porphyry oTrade Review"This book will be of interest for those concerned with patristic exegesis and the contemporary discussion of how that exegesis, and texts generally, are to be interpreted." —Journal of Ecclesiastical History“A stimulating engagement of postmodern hermeneutics and the field of patristics, Reading in Christian Communities assists theologians and historians in understanding the ways in which the interpretation of texts develops out of particular cultures and, in turn, influences those cultures.” —Journal of Early Christian Studies"...a very fitting tribute.... The scholarly authors of these essays are all colleagues, students, or friends of Greer, and the essays are intended as a tribute to him and a continuation of his work. Both with regard to the content of the essays and the reflections on the modern hermeneutical problem, this is a welcome addition to the ever growing literature on the subject." —The Heythrop Journal“...[A] substantial contribution to the post-modern theological conversation." —Perspectives in Religious Studies"In their focus on reading and exegesis as means to create communities these essays, each in their own way, contribute much to the 'contexts' they seek to illuminate, both the historical ones of early Christianity and late Antiquity as well as the modern, or perhaps post-modern, Christian contexts of their authors. The most striking among the many things that connects these essays is, however, at least for this reader, the sense of deep affection for Rowan Greer the person and teacher, which permeates all of them and which is perhaps the most precious contribution of all." —Journal of Ancient Christianity“This is a wide-ranging collection of essays providing a fitting tribute to the work of Rowan Greer. The combination of detailed studies and more general methodological discussion works well because there is good feed across from one to the other. The key theme is both theological and hermeneutical, focusing on interpretive communities and their vital role in reading scripture. The historical dimension of these studies illuminates the current situation. This is a timely work, as well as a fascinatingly varied collection.” —Frances Young, Edward Cadbury Professor of Theology, University of Birmingham“An unusually rich and nuanced set of essays celebrating and enacting the current renaissance and reconceptualization of the field of patristic biblical engagement that Rowan Greer has done so much to instigate. A must-read for those who wish to be a part of this vibrant conversation.” —Margaret M. Mitchell, Associate Professor of New Testament and Chair, Department of New Testament and Early Christian Literature, The University of Chicago

Yale University Press George Whitefield
Book SynopsisAn engaging, balanced, and penetrating narrative biography of the charismatic eighteenth-century American evangelistTrade Review"Kidd, a professor of history at Baylor and an evangelical Christian, balances his admiration for Whitefield with scholarly rigor. . . . Kidd’s theologically sympathetic approach gives the book a depth that a more detached treatment might not: He misses none of the biblical allusions that peppered Whitefield’s utterances, and he is an excellent guide through the tangled doctrinal controversies that dogged Whitefield’s career. . . . A great orator keeps his listeners’ attention fixed on himself. What made Whitefield great was his ability to keep it fixed on Another."—Barton Swaim, Wall Street JournalWinner, Christianity Today 2016 Book Award in History/Biography"This superb chronicle of George Whitefield’s life is now our fullest biography for the much-studied and much-debated eighteenth-century evangelist. It combines unusual empathy with unusual comprehension."—Mark Noll, author of The Rise of Evangelicalism: The Age of Edwards, Whitefield and the Wesleys"George Whitefield: America’s Spiritual Founding Father traces the life of perhaps the most important evangelical leader in American history, the minister most responsible for the rise of the evangelical movement in the decades before the American Revolution. Thomas Kidd introduces us to a flawed but deeply religious man whose passionate preaching inspired thousands of Americans to become evangelical Christians. Lucid, well-researched, and insightful, this book is an absorbing account of Whitefield’s remarkable life and ministry."—Catherine Brekus, author of Sarah Osborn's World: The Rise of Evangelical Christianity in Early America"Thomas Kidd’s judicious portrait places Whitefield at the center of the transatlantic evangelical awakening, where he belongs."—Bruce Hindmarsh, author of The Evangelical Conversion Narrative: Spiritual Autobiography in Early Modern England"Thoroughly researched, and rooted in an exact knowledge of Whitefield’s times; critically perceptive while remaining appreciatively sympathetic; this is the best balanced and most illuminating chronicle of the Anglo-American Awakener’s career that has yet been produced."—J.I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College"I commend this book to any serious student of American history. British by birth, George Whitefield is in fact woven into the spiritual fabric of our own nation—he was a central figure in the Great Awakening of the early American colonies, his rousing sermons and booming voice stirring thousands. He truly is, in the words of Kidd, 'America’s Spiritual Founding Father.'"—Frank Wolf, Congressman of the 10th District of Virginia

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Church and People
Book SynopsisThis book provides readers with an account of the rivalry between the two kingdoms of Church and State between the years 1450 and 1660. England inherited, from medieval times, two systems of authority: the Church, governed by Pope and Bishops; and the State, ruled by Monarch and Lords. However, from the late fourteenth century onwards, this division was increasingly challenged by the laity''s insistence on their right to choose not only between different systems of Church government but also between different forms of religious belief. The author charts the rivalry between clergy and laity''s and shows how political and social developments between 1450 and 1660 were decisively influenced by this conflict. This second edition includes updates throughout the text in the light of recent scholarship and a new bibliography.Trade Review"Scholarly, lucid, illuminating, objective and extremely readable . . . an outstanding contribution."

Years later, the church and community still struggle to understand the family members'' deliberate choice to forgive the racist murderer.

But beyond that, Anthony goes on to teach what forgiveness can and should look like in each of our lives--both personally, in our communities, and even in our nation.

Surtees Society The Letters of George Davenport 16511677
Book SynopsisLetters written by a clergyman during the late seventeenth century illuminate the religious turmoil of the period.This book provides an edition of the letters of George Davenport, an Anglican clergyman in the north of England whose adult career covered the period of the Interregnum and the Restoration. Many of the letters are to his former Cambridge tutor, William Sancroft, beginning from 1651 after Sancroft had been expelled from Cambridge, and continuing after the Restoration when Davenport replaced Sancroft as chaplain to John Cosin, bishop of Durham, later becoming Rector of Houghton-le Spring, Durham. They were written to keep Sancroft supplied with information about Durham, where he was a prebendary with license to be non-resident, needing to collect revenues from his living and then torebuild his prebendal house. The earlier letters reveal something about the life of an illegally (since episcopally) ordained young Anglican who, unlike many, did not go into exile but stayed largely in London supported by friends. Davenport eventually became a most conscientious resident parish priest and the letters throw considerable light on the Restoration settlement in the Durham diocese, from the `beautifying' of Houghton church to the catechisingof the people and the collection of tithes from a sometimes tardy flock. Davenport also helped Cosin to Catalogue his famous library and himself gave many manuscripts to it, of which a list is included here as an appendix. The letters are presented here with full introduction and elucidatory notes.Trade ReviewThis is an important edition of letters which illuminates the clerical concerns of the Restoration. * ARCHIVES *This edition forms a valuable new resource for ecclesiastical historians. * JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY *Table of ContentsIntroduction Letters of George Davenport Appendix A i] Davenport's Catalogue ii] Will of George Davenport, 1677 iii] Inventory of George Davenport, 1677 iv] Dilapidation Document, 1665 v] Churchwardens' Accounts of Houghton le Spring, 1677 Appendix B Books referred to in the Letters Bibliography

Boydell & Brewer Ltd The Works of Bishop Butler
Book SynopsisThe complete works of Joseph Butler, newly edited, with an introduction, notes, glossary, and an analytic index. This edition of Bishop Joseph Butler's [1692-1752] complete works is the first newly edited version to appear in a century, and is the only one to include a single, analytic index to the whole works. The editor's introduction presents Butler's ethics and philosophy of religion as a single, comprehensive system of pastoral philosophy and surveys the vast influence Butler exerted, especially in the nineteenth century. Included here are all fifteen published sermons from Butler's tenure as Preacher at the Rolls Chapel, the only sermons in English routinely studied by secular ethicists to this day; six additional sermons on the great public institutions; his Charge to the Clergy at Durham, controversial in its day for its defense of external religion; his youthful letters sent anonymously to Samuel Clarke, and the complete text of his Analogy of Religion, an apologetic tour de force, including the famous introduction on probability as the guide to life, the analogical defense of immortality, free will and the moral order of nature, as well as his famous rebuttal of deism and his dissertations on virtue and on personal identify. Butler's work is among the monuments of classical Anglican theology. He is a major source for work in ethical theory and philosophy of religion, as well as for the background of Victorian literature. David E. White teaches philosophy at St. John Fisher College and is an officer in the New York State Philosophical Association.Trade ReviewButler was a major moralist, a philosopher of religion second only to Hume, and a great churchman. It is more than a century since there has been a scholarly edition of his complete writings.

Book SynopsisCan the Church of England survive the 21st century? What needs to change and what remains? How does the Church deal with contemporary challenges and how are these related to the situation it faced in 1966? This book is an evaluation of Bishop Ronald Williams' 1966 book What's Right with the Church of England identifying the issues of that time with reference to the issues still facing the Church of England today. These include perception and position, resources and finance, ethics, ecumenism, a liberal church in a liberal society, ministry for today, marketing, and a contemporary parochial ecclesiology. Many of the issues from 1966 have not changed but the context is significantly different requiring different responses.

Collective Ink Bread Not Stones – the Autobiography of an
Book SynopsisThe life journey of a woman who-as a medical doctor, missionary nun, pioneer of gender equality, Anglican priest, and now a contemplative Catholic-influenced the lives of thousands. Una Kroll is one of the most outspoken campaigners for the ordination of women. She achieved a certain notoriety in 1978 at the Church of England's General Synod when its members turned down a proposal to prepare legislation to ordain women to the priesthood. Quoting from Matthew 7:9, she shouted from the gallery "We asked you for bread and you gave us a stone." 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the ordination of women on the Church of England and 2015 will almost certainly see the consecration of women as bishops. This celebration will both rekindle interest in the history of the movement for women's ordination and also serve to further ignite debate for the same in the Roman Catholic Church. Una Kroll told BBC radio about the campaign for the full inclusion of women into the Anglican church and her role in it. Listen again at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5f3cTrade ReviewUna Kroll has written a remarkable book from her perspective both as a medical doctor and as one of the first women priests in the Church of England. The stories Una recounts reveal a woman with a passionate humanity, brilliant intellect and deep spiritual insight. As both doctor and priest, Una has been a pioneering advocate for women: whether introducing new healthcare treatments or being one of the most outspoken campaigners for women's ordination. Ultimately, though, Una has written a spiritual biography of women's struggle for full inclusion in the Church's ministries and mission, with her most profound reflections revealing an evolving understanding of God as creative energy and unconditional love. -- Christina Rees, broadcaster; writer; member of General Synod of the Church of England June 2014

Collective Ink In Just Three Years – Pentecost 1549 to All
Book SynopsisHenry VIII's Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, is credited with a pivotal role in the English Reformation. As well as playing a leading part, together with Henry's Chancellor, Thomas Cromwell, in securing the separation of the Church in England from the authority of the Roman Church and the Pope enabling Henry both to marry his mistress, Anne Boleyn, and to become Supreme Head of the Church of England, he also began, prior to Henry's death in 1547, to introduce liturgical reforms into the Church. In the reign of Henry's son, Edward VI, Cranmer was considered the prime creator of the 1549 Prayer Book, the first all-English service book with reformed tendencies. Within three years, a more radical and reformed book was produced and authorised at the end of 1552. the question and issue is whether Cranmer was directly responsible for this second book which took the Church of England in a more overtly protestant direction. Many argue that he was. This book suggests that he was not.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd A History of the Mothers' Union: Women,
Book SynopsisOne of the most significant works on Anglican and Women's history to be published in recent years. Includes a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury. This book tells the story of how a parish women's meeting started in 1876 by a Victorian vicar's wife is now the most authentic and powerful organization of women in the new global Christianity. Its cross-disciplinary approach examines how religious faith and shifting ideologies of womanhood and motherhood in the imperial and post colonial worlds acted as a source of empowerment for conservative women in their homes, communities and churches. In contrast to much of feminist history, A History of the Mothers' Union 1876-2008: Women, Anglicanism and Globalisation shows how the beliefs of ordinary women led them to become advocates and activists long before women had the vote or could be ordained priests. Having survived an identity crisis over social and theological liberalism in the 1960s, the Mothers' Union provides a model of unity and reconciled diversity for a divided world wide church. Today it is hailed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and international development practitioners as an outstanding example of global Christian engagement with poverty and social transformation issues at the grass roots. Thematerial is arranged both thematically and chronologically. Case studies of Australia, Ghana and South Africa trace how the Mothers' Union arrived with white British women but evolved into indigenous organizations.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Conscience, Consciousness and Ethics in Joseph
Book SynopsisOffers a new interpretation of Butler's theology and suggests that exploration of his methods may contribute to modern thinking about ethics, language, the Church as well as religion and science. Joseph Butler [1692-1752] is perhaps Britain's most powerful and original moral philosopher. He exercised a profound influence over the contemporary Protestant Churches, the English moralists and the Scottish philosophical schoolbut his theory of the "affections", grounded in Newtonian metaphysics and presenting an account of human psychology, also set the terms of engagement with questions of education, slavery, missions and even labour relations. Inthe nineteenth-century English-speaking world he was an authority of first resort for Evangelicals, Tractarians, philosophers, scientists, psychologists, economists, sociologists, lawyers and educationalists alike. He remains a key reference point for modern American and British philosophers, from Broad to Rawls and beyond. Many analyses of Butler, however, have been distorted by aggressively secular readings. This book is based on a comprehensive reassessment of his published work and the surviving manuscripts and archival materials. These are set within an account of his spiritual and intellectual development and his ministerial vocation, from the protracted and painful process of conforming to the Church of England to his initial observations on a social philosophy. Demonstrating that even The Analogy originated in liturgical preaching, this book offers a refreshed and detailed account of Butler's key terms - conscience, consciousness, identity, affections, charity, analogy, probability, tendency - and suggests that exploration of his methods may contribute to modern thinking about ethics, language, the role of the Church, and the religion and science debates. BOB TENNANT taught English Literature at the University of Sussex, spent many years as a senior manager in adult education, and was a trade union and political activist serving leading organisations at local, regional and national levels. He has written on political, economic and trade union matters for many newspapers and periodicals and is a founder of The British Pulpit Online, seeking to create an online catalogue and database of all printed British sermons from 1660 to 1901.Trade ReviewScholarly in the best sense of the term, and makes a compelling case that Butler's corpus deserves a second look from both philosophers and theologians. * CHURCH HISTORY *A much-needed book. * ANGLICAN & EPISCOPAL HISTORY *Should become foundational for future studies of Butler by showing that appreciating the way that Butler's thought is embedded in his life as an Anglican clergyman is indispensable to evaluating the riches of Butler's philosophy.
