A major ?gure in twentieth-century Christianity, Geoffrey Fisher
worked to modernise the Church of England and to develop the
worldwide Anglican Communion. His historic meeting with Pope John
XXIII, his participation in national debates on the Suez Crisis and
nuclear weapons, and his role in crowning Queen Elizabeth II
brought him prominence in postwar Britain. His neglect by
professional historians is partly remedied by this new biography.
"David Hein here offers an elegant appraisal of his subject,
placing Fisher in a succession of shifting landscapes and measuring
his role with an acute eye. A superb portrait, it is the work of a
historian of genuine distinction." - Andrew Chandler, Director,
George Bell Institute at the University of Chichester "Whilst
eminently scholarly and appropriately demanding for the reader,
this biography holds one's attention - a signi?cant achievement,
and much to be commended " - Ann Loades, Professor of Divinity
Emerita, Durham University, UK "David Hein's treatment of
Archbishop Fisher's career throws a great deal of light on the
Church of England, Britain in the mid-twentieth century, and the
place of religion in Europe and in the developing world following
World War II. His assessment of Fisher as leader of the
international Anglican Communion is particularly illuminating." -
W. Brown Patterson Emeritus Dean and Professor of History,
University of the South "A short, accessible book helpful to both
the professional scholar and interested amateur who wish to gain a
greater understanding of the Church of England and the Anglican
Communion more widely during the turbulent post-war period." -
Wendy Dackson Ripon College, Cuddesdon David Hein is Professor of
Religion and Philosophy at Hood College and co-author of The
Episcopalians.
