Format: Paperback
Michael Ramsey's "The Gospel and the Catholic Church" continues to be a vital work exploring the true relationship between the gospel message and the Church. I highly recommend it to a wide range of readers. It's not an easy read, but the educated layperson, clergy, teachers and others will be amply rewarded by a patient reading of what Ramsey has to say.

Throughout history either the gospel or the Church have often been obscured, and part of Ramsey's thesis is that the two are part of the same thing and can never be separated without doing harm to both. Ramsey states that he wrote this book "as a study of the Church, and its doctrine, and unity and structure, in terms of the gospel of Christ crucified and risen." Throughout the book Ramsey articulates his thesis in ways similar to what he writes in Chapter IV on The Meaning of Unity: "For the good news that God has visited and redeemed His people includes the redeemed man's knowledge of death and resurrection through his place in the one visible society [the Church] and through the death to self which every member and group has died." In other words, Ramsey sees church order, particularly the Episcopate as a continuation of the Apostolate, as being an integral part of the gospel message itself.

Ramsey is quite convincing in his thesis, and his understanding of the relationship between the gospel and the Church merits a close reading by Christians and churches. If we all understood what Ramsey is getting at, there would be a better chance for reunion among the churches. Ramsey's theology also helps prevent the rampant individualism and subjectivism of modern Christianity, as well as inoculate the church against a dead institutionalism.

Must have reference for personal library of all Anglo-Catholics. Written by former Archbishop of Canterbury. Especially helpful for those new to the Catholic tradition of Anglicanism.
