Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-09 00:00:00 Tim Rubio This history of the Anglican Church as considered against Roman Catholicism and broader Protestantism is well researched, informative and a good summary of influential Anglican thinkers, events and trends. This work is particularly good on the question of Anglican self-definition and participation in ecumenical conversations. The author is no fan of the Oxford Movement/Tractarians and finds them to be historically naive in their attacks on the Protestant Reformers, as they read the popular protestantism of their day back into the (English and Continental) Reformers rather than rigorously engaging the works of the Reformers themselves.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-11 00:00:00 Michael Gildersleeve The description of the book is incorrect. The correct description is as follows (taken from the back cover of the 1976 edition): ------------------- "Something different was needed; not just praying for sick people, but healing them!" When the Reverend Colin Urquhart began his ministry as parish priest of St. Hugh's, near Luton, on a large housing estate, he knew from the experience of his predecessors that life would be tough. Within four years, however, his church had changed beyond recognition as the members found themselves witnessing miracles of healing, and establishing new relationships with one another, as God gave them a remarkable vision of love, community and service. ------------------- My review: This is a very inspiring book which plants into the reader's heart a longing to really know Jesus and be baptised with the Holy Spirit. I can't wait to read the follow-up book(s) and to find out more about what God has been and is still doing.
