Peter Toon was a Yorkshireman, an Anglican clergyman, theologian,
and church historian. Former librarian of Latimer House in Oxford,
curate of St Ebbe's, and later a tutor at Oak Hill, after a brief
spell in County Durham he moved to America and served churches in
the United States until almost the end of his life. He was
President of the Prayer Book Society in the United States, but
eventually returned to England to serve as Priest-in-Charge of a
Staffordshire village church. He was widely in demand as a speaker
throughout the Commonwealth, Europe, and Asia. The inaugural Peter
Toon Lecture, established in his memory, was delivered by Bishop
Michael Nazir-Ali on the subject of what the Thirty-nine Articles
call the "most wholesome doctrine" of justification by faith. His
thoughtful presentation ranges widely from Genesis 15 and Galatians
3, to Augustine, the Reformers, the Council of Trent, Tom Wright,
John Piper, and Benedict XVI. 'In a tour-de-force, Bishop Michael
tackles the vital subject of being right with God exegetically,
historically, theologically, and pastorally. It is stretching,
though intelligible for the ordinary lay Christian, and
demonstrates good evidence of keeping up with contemporary
scholarship on this subject, which is of course vast.' (Lee Gatiss,
Director of Church Society) Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali was formerly
bishop of Rochester. A personal friend of Peter and Vita Toon, Dr.
Nazir-Ali's latest book Triple Jeopardy for the West examines the
very hot topics of aggressive secularism, radical Islam, and
multiculturalism. He is currently the President of the Oxford
Centre for Training, Research, Advocacy, and Dialogue.
