Reviews
'This book is essential reading for all concerned with the future direction of the Anglican Communion.' -Church of England Newspaper, September 2, 2011
'This book is essential reading for all concerned with the future direction of the Anglican Communion.' -Church of England Newspaper, September 2, 2011 'As we search for a way thorugh our current difficulties, wise and moderate voices need to be heard above the clamour of simplistic and divisive slogans at both extreme ends of the [Anglican] argument ... Bruce Kaye is such a voice. A New Testament scholar and a historian ... Kaye is sensitive to the legacy of colonialism and to the more subtle pressures of Western cultural hegemony today. He throws out a timely challenge to Anglicans ... In each case he has useful, thought-provoking thIngs to say.' CHURCH TIMES, 30 DEC 2011 'It provides, not least for those outside Anglicanism, a judicious and informed guide to the turmoils in which a major branch of the world Church is caught up and by which we are all affected. Enrichingly this is set within a wider context ... Kaye offers encouragement and insights that are of universal importance which can enrich the whole Church, making the Anglican experience a case study of the struggle to be faithful in a time of rapid change globally.' Paul Ballard in Theological Book Review Vol. 23, No. 2, 2011 'There are fascinating discussions of the ways in which theology and the church are shaped by political culture ... Kaye ... remains optimistic, and his conciliar church of many loosely connected churches is perhaps the only way forward when the covenant fails to command the support that it requires to work. One can but hope.' Mark Chapman in The Journal of Modern Believing, April 2012
