Reviews

'Oliver Quick was one of the seminal minds of twentieth-century Anglicanism. In a readable and insightful study, Alexander Hughes does a brilliant job of opening up Quick's theology once again to the modern reader.' Jeremy Morris, Trinity Hall, Cambridge, UK 'In this excellent and comprehensive introduction to the work of a much neglected figure in twentieth-century English theology, Alexander Hughes offers a beautifully clear and elegant account of an original form of philosophical theology that is not without relevance for the issues facing the church as it faces the question of making the Gospel relevant in the contemporary world. Quick's critical orthodoxy, rooted as it is in the traditional Anglican balance between Scripture, Tradition and Reason, remains an attractive solution to the tensions of modern theology.' Mark D. Chapman, University of Oxford, UK 'Oliver Quick's critical orthodoxy, which has gathered dust in recent decades as various other theological tides have flowed and ebbed, re-emerges in this book as a vital resource for contemporary theology. His fresh and direct style, and the vigour of his thought, are brought beautifully to light by Alexander Hughes, whose clarity and energy serve his subject well.' Ben Quash, King's College London, UK
