'Robert Wilson has delved into the theological thinking and world that shaped G.A. Selwyn, a leading nineteenth-century missionary and colonial bishop and architect of pan-Anglicanism. This provides a rich appreciation of how Selwyn's theology informed his activism and achievements.' Allan Davidson, St John's College, Auckland, New Zealand 'Robert Wilson's helpful study of Selwyn's theology illuminates the bishop's ministry and relationships in the radically different settings of colonial New Zealand and populous industrial Lichfield. He throws light on why the combination of traditional high churchmanship with his sense of calling as a missionary bishop could be so vexatious to the evangelical missionaries already in the colony when he landed. This new study using Selwyn's sermons and letters will enrich and broaden our understanding of the bishop's theological stance. Robert Wilson skilfully combines insights from such primary sources with recently published interpretations from New Zealand historians and deepens our appreciation of this most energetic and pragmatic episcopal reformer.' Warren Limbrick, former Warden, Selwyn College in Otago University, New Zealand and retired Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, Dunedin, New Zealand
