Reviews
'At a time when the churches in Britain are struggling to connect with the lives of most people, there is an urgent need for a renewed vision of Christian life, faith and practice which can enable them to do this. In this fascinating and important study, rooted in the inspirational thought of a remarkable Catholic theologian and pastor, we are given vital resources for enabling such a vision to be nurtured and lived.' Gordon Mursell, former Bishop of Stafford 'There is an authenticity about this work, which is rooted in decades of engagement, reflection and practice.' James Woodward, Sarum College, Crucible ...'a very fine book.... (with) an excellent bibliography.' Dominic White, New Blackfriars Review
