Reviews

"This book captures in so many ways the personality, spirituality, and breadth of interests of Donald Allchin ... I know of no one else ... who could write with such profundity about such a range of subjects such as Ann Griffiths the Welsh hymn writer, Celtic spirituality, Eastern Orthodox theology, and the Danish theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig. In doing so, he was able to expound their importance and insights to those who belonged to those traditions, enabling them to appreciate them afresh through his eyes."
- Most Rev. Barry Morgan, Archbishop of Wales

"Keller has managed to gather between the covers of his excellent book the spirit of Donald's warm humanity and rich spirituality, best seen in his writings and in the contributions of his wide and valued circle of friends. We and the church owe him a great debt of gratitude."
- Esther De Waal, historian, author, lecturer

"This volume will be attractive to those who knew Donald Allchin, and is an excellent introduction to those who would like to know him better."
- Frederick Quinn, Anglican & Episcopal Society, Vol 86, No 1, March 2017

"For those unfamiliar with Allchin's work, this book will undoubtedly whet the appetite to read more. The book is infused with a sense of joy... as well as expressing an appreciation of the quality of his mind."
- Julie Gittoes, Ecclesiology 13 (2017) 387-421
