Anglican theology has been a hotbed of debate about the issue of
authority since the Reformation. What do we really appeal to when
attempting to decide matters of doctrine, worship, ministry or
ethics? The debate is very much alive today, between Evangelical,
Liberal and Catholic Anglicans around the world. This proposed book
focuses on the understanding of authority in Anglican theology. It
looks at the way that Anglican theologians, in the past and today,
have developed their theories of authority in relation to burning
issues. Avis critiques them in a continuous dialogue or running
commentary and set them in an ecumenical context, comparing
Anglican positions with Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and
Protestant ones. In each area - Bible, tradition, reason,
experience -he sets out a new understanding of authority in a
constructive and persuasive way, moving to a series of overall
conclusions and recommendations. The sharp critiques of various
positions will help to make it the subject of discussion and
debate.
