The worldwide Anglican movement is a vibrant and flourishing, if
sometimes troubled, international phenomenon. In recent decades it
has experienced exponential growth, especially in parts of Africa
and Asia, where dynamic evangelism and church planting are often
seen. Yet for their historic roots, Anglicans across the globe
continue to look back to one small but long-established province,
the Church of England. The Anglican movement, at its best, has
always been about people rather than structures or institutions. So
this book introduces sixteen influential men and women from the
Church of England, spread over the centuries from the early middle
ages to the present day. They range from the celibate monk (Bede)
to the married mother of eighteen children (Susanna Wesley); the
innovative scientist (Robert Boyle) to the captivating poet
(Frances Ridley Havergal); the urbane scholar (C.S. Lewis) to the
popular preacher (Richard Sibbes and David Watson); the visionary
bishop (Thomas Cranmer and J.C. Ryle) to the tenacious politician
(William Wilberforce and Lord Shaftesbury). All sought to be
faithful followers of Christ within the Church of England. But what
were their theological passions and convictions? How did they
understand their Anglican identity? These vignettes are not
mini-biographies but fresh and thought-provoking explorations of
'the heart of faith'. Andrew Atherstone (editor) is tutor in
history and doctrine, and Latimer research fellow, at Wycliffe
Hall, Oxford The contributors are Nigel Atkinson, David Bebbington,
Roger Beckwith, Gerald Bray, John Coffey, Graham Cray, Mark Dever,
Alan Munden, Michael Nazir-Ali, Mark Smith, Michael Ward, Martin
Wellings, David Wells and John Wolffe
