Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-07 00:00:00 John Griffin I gave this 4 stars because it is a standard text for the study of Anglicanism (if the title didn’t give that away), ad brings together a diversity of voices from across Anglicanism to contribute on many issues. While I personally disagreed with several of the essays in their description of Anglicanism, all the essays are well written and seek to make their point well. In fact, many of the essays presented multiple ways of understanding the topic within Anglicanism. A couple time, only one view was given as if it were the one view. The reader should just be aware that each writer is writing from a slice of Anglicanism and may not represent the breadth of the tradition.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-06 00:00:00 Jeffrey Jones Comprehensive overview of the Anglican faith with particular emphasis on the Church of England. Does not provide significant essays concerning the ongoing development and distinctiveness of the various churches outside of England that are members of the Anglican communion but considering that the book is already almost 500 pages long that limitation is very understandable. As is frequently the case with a collection of essays the literary style and ease of reading of the essays is quite varied. Each essay is essentially an introduction to an area of study and sometimes the essays are limited in the breadth of opinion that they present. Handily organized by subject areas to facilitate inquiry into any particular aspect of Anglicanism.
