The variety and depth of Anglican theology is best engaged through personal encounter with its many sources - the theologians and theological witnesses themselves. Anglican theology is often worked out in personal terms that provide a synthesis between reflection on the truths of faith and the particular contexts of culture and life. This book presents modern Anglican theology through a unique 'gallery'. This theological gallery includes a portrait or sketch of ten Anglican writers - DuBose, Farrer, Stringfellow, Brooks, Kemper, DeKoven, McCord Adams, Polkinghorne, Gore and Macquarrie. Theological description, interpretation and application are included for each, with the presentations differing as widely as the theologians and theological witnesses themselves. Drawing together understandings and experiences of faith, this will be an invaluable resource for students of Anglican theology and anyone who seeks to understand the distinctive perspectives and contributions of Anglicanism relative to living faith and daily life.
'Rob Slocum's work is packed full of fascinating vignettes and characterful insights, that help us understand many aspects of the deep and abiding appeal of Anglican polity... Shaped by the past, the student of Anglican polity also seeks to shape the present and future life of the world. As these portraits show, embodying something of the spirit of Anglicanism is, arguably, a perpetual vocation for every Christian.' The Very Revd Professor Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, UK
