The Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian denomination
and claims a membership of some 80 million members in about 164
countries. Given that there are only around two hundred countries
in the world, this makes the churches of the Anglican Communion the
most geographically widespread denomination after Roman
Catholicism. The 44 essays in this volume embrace a wide range of
academic disciplines: theological; historical; demography and
geography; and different aspects of culture and ethics. They are
united in their discussion of what is effectively a new
inter-disciplinary subject which we have termed 'Anglican Studies'.
At the core of this volume is the phenomenon of 'Anglicanism' as
this is expressed in different places and in a variety of ways
across the world. This Handbook covers a far broader set of topics
from a wider range of perspectives than has been hitherto attempted
in Anglican Studies. At the same time, it doesn't impose a
particular theological or historical agenda. The contributions are
drawn from across the spectrum of theological views and opinions.
It shows that the unsettled nature of the polity is part of its own
rich history; and many will see this as a somewhat lustrous
tradition. In its comprehensive coverage, this volume is a valuable
contribution to Anglican Studies and helps formulate a discipline
that might perhaps promote dialogue and discussion across the
Anglican world.
