Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626) was a towering figure in the
formative years of the Church of England. Averse to the puritanical
spirit of the age, he helped to create a distinctive Anglican
theology, moderate in outlook and catholic in tone. He believed
that theology should be built on sound learning, he held a high
doctrine of the Eucharist and he emphasised dignity and order in
worship. His influence defines Anglicanism to this day.A devout
scholar and gifted linguist, he served as Dean of Westminster and
under James I became Bishop of Chichester, then Ely and finally
Winchester. In 1604 he was appointed as one of the translators of
the Authorized Version and became responsible for most of the Old
Testament. It was as a preacher that he achieved the greatest fame
and he was a favourite of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I. His
spiritual classic, "The Private Devotions of Lancelot Andrewes" was
for personal prayer what the "Book of Common Prayer" was for the
worship of the Church. Here is a wide selection from his writings
and a general introduction.
