Reviews

Presents a lively and eclectic collection of documents, which have been thoughtfully selected and helpfully introduced.
*CHURCHMAN*

A fascinating insight into the richness of the archives at Lambeth Palace Library.
*THEOLOGY*

Many of the issues selected have resonance today, and many have compelling human interest.
*JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY*

[A] splendid volume. the documents are reproduced with careful editorial skill and scholarly introductions. [...] It is a great record of Anglican attitudes, both official and personal; the prevailing tone is one of problems and difficulties faced and surmounted. [...] Its editors have gathered diverse and distant records into a volume that gives a unified picture of the development of our Church, beleaguered, but still in the service of God and the nation.
*THE CHURCH TIMES*
