If you’re despairing of the Church of England, especially in recent years, and want to understand more of the history and theology behind its current tribal mess, this might be the book for you.
This tour de force takes the reader from the beginnings of the English Church right through to the present day. We see the evolution from Bede, via Anselm, church architecture, through the Elizabethan settlement right up to Welby. If you ever wondered how any of the complex historical context of the Church of England fits together, this will hugely help get the jigsaw pieces together in the right place.
