Critics Review
“Faith: Conversations In Global Anglican Theology is a welcome new addition to the increasing number of books that advance the vision of a post-colonial, polyphonic, polycentric Anglican communion. It is a very readable collection that offers important resources for both the academic and the engaged, thoughtful parish leader.”
* Ian Douglas, Anglican and Episcopal History *“This is the first volume of what promises to… a worthwhile and timely series.” * Church Times *
“A book like this is itself an act of faith.” * from the Foreword by Rowan Williams *
“This volume is a vibrant and unexpected convocation of voices from three continents and multiple cultures in which Anglicanism is indigenized. It is essential reading for my Anglican students, helpful for anyone who wishes to comprehend the beautiful and challenging variety of contemporary Anglican faith.” * Ellen F. Davis, Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School *
“This important book and series promises not just to challenge western dominance in Anglican theological discourse in theory, but to model alternative ways of doing theology centered in the Global South in practice. Its specific and deep (but not exclusive) connection with South Africa makes this more than an abstraction, and uses the inspiring and liberative experience of that place and the Church there as a concrete example of how Anglican theology, and the core notion of Communion itself, may be renewed.” * Andrew McGowan, Dean and President, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale *
