Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In an age in which the Anglican Church is still often perceived as lacking cohesion, this book comes as a welcome study of the Anglican/Episcopalian ethos in general and how internal conflict is not necessarily destructive but leads to the maturing growth of a church. Quinn traces the evolution of Anglican Christianity from the 6th century C.E. (but focuses on the 16th-20th centuries), presenting brief biographical sketches and literary excerpts from influential figures of each time period Henry VIII, Thomas Cranmer, William Law, Samuel Johnson, T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, and Francis Kilvert, to name a few. The history of devotional literature, music, legal documents, and more provides a sense of the complexities inherent in the Anglican ethos. The real value of this book is that it brings together important and disparate strands of the Anglican/Episcopalian heritage that are otherwise difficult to locate in a single volume.
