If you want theological fast food , don't read this book; if you want to be reminded of the depths of the gospel as revealed in scripture and taught by the Anglican Church from the earliest days through the Reformation until the modern day, Martin Davie has provided a way for you to mine these seams of gold. He draws together the great gospel themes of the Bible and then shows how they have been passed on down the generations. This is a book that will edify and challenge in equal measure not only by taking you to some of the great teaching documents of the past but by showing how they speak into the contemporary challenges of the gospel. This book is for 21st Century global Anglicans who are not ashamed of the gospel or our forebears who bore witness to that gospel. Read it all at once or slowly savouring each part and pray the Lord would equip you to stand for that gospel now. Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead This is a substantial book which addresses fundamental issues of Anglican theology at a time when our historic moorings are under threat. It is to be applauded for its appeal to go 'back to the future' in engaging with our core foundational documents, and encouraging (indeed exemplary) to see theology being fashioned around an unalloyed commitment to Scripture. This is a rich theological 'seam' which will reward those who mine it. John Dunnett, Chair of Evangelical Group on General Synod(EGGS) The sweep of Martin's new book is breathtaking. It conveys an encyclopaedic knowledge of church history, biblical theology and the worldwide Anglican tradition. Anyone wondering why they should be part of the Anglican church will find a very comprehensive answer here. However, the book is much more than an apologia for Anglicanism. It is written to appeal for unity in the gospel. Martin affirms that order and truth belong together - but shows that both of these hinge, and have always hinged, on a clear understanding of the gospel. He takes the view that while diversity can be hugely beneficial, disagreement over the content of the gospel can never be. Given that this is his message, some readers might be surprised to find him quoting so freely from the GAFCON Jerusalem Declaration and an ACNA document. His purpose, however, is to show that these stand in the mainstream of Anglican theological tradition and are thus a great reforming influence for our own day. Rt. Revd Rod Thomas, Bishop of Maidstone Dr. Martin Davie has done a masterful job addressing a question at the heart of the once-every-500-year Reformation of the Church, including the Global Anglican Communion: can we trust both the clarity and authority of the Bible? Dr. Davie addresses this question by looking at what the Anglican tradition teaches about the nature of the Gospel and how the Anglican tradition gives expression to the Gospel in very way that Anglican churches are ordered. In short, Davie's answer to questions about the inspiration, clarity of the Gospel, and its authority for all Anglicans presents the very dividing line between the renewal of Anglican Churches--or their secularization.
