WHY TAYLOR TODAY? Jeremy Taylor is more than a famous figure from
the Anglican past for much of what he created theologically remains
an ingredient in Anglicanism today. Seen against the background of
his own times, he stands out in a period rich in theological
ability. Seen from the angle of our times, Taylor commands our
attention as a precursor. His Real Presence and Spiritual (1654)
anticipates aspects of eucharistic theology in the Lima Report
(1982) and in the Final Report (1982) or ARCIC I. His moral
theology forms the context for his sacramental theology and
forestalls much of the development characteristic of the
twentieth-century revolution in that subject. He has moreover the
curious capacity of appearing to make himself at times our
contemporary. A man of paradox, both Laudon and liberal, steeped in
the great tradition yet: on occasion strangely modern, he
persistently defies easy classification. He is a theologian of
affiliations but of no party, holding 'the faith once 'for all
delivered' but expounding it with originality, and individuality.
Taylor always remains his own man. Deeply and widely learned and
enormously productive even throughout the years of national turmoil
and amid personal losses, he can be exciting in his handling of
themes expressed in that style which has, ensured for him a place
in English literature. This book attempts an evaluation of his
eucharistic theology - not hitherto examined in depth - which is
firmly sited by Taylor within his overall picture of the Christian
life.
