Description
Book SynopsisThis uniquely comprehensive reference work provides a global account of the history, expansion, diversity, and contemporary issues facing the Anglican Communion, the worldwide body that includes all followers of the Anglican faith.
Trade Review“The authors, as one might expect from an episcopal church, include three present or former archbishops, 13 bishops, 20 or so priests and 40-odd academics, many of them professors (with some overlap between the last two groups), so there is plenty of authoritative scholarship and expertise here.” (Reference Reviews, 1 October 2014)
“The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to the Anglican Communion (WBCAC) is an unprecedented work on global Anglicanism. It offers a thorough account of the history, structures, members and major themes in Anglican thought, which is as comprehensive as it is comprehensible. As a guide to the Anglican Communion, it leaves no notable stone unturned.” (Churchman, 1 August 2014)
“This is a valuable contribution to understanding the Anglican Communion. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.” (Choice, 1 December 2013)
