Download or read book The Heritage of Anglican Theology written by J. I. Packer and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical and Theological Reflections on the Anglican Church from J. I. Packer The Anglican Church has a rich theological heritage filled with a diversity of views and practices. Like a river with a main current and several offshoot streams, Anglicanism has a main body with many distinct, smaller communities. So what constitutes mainstream Anglicanism? Influential Anglican theologian J. I. Packer makes the case that "authentic Anglicanism" is biblical, liturgical, evangelical, pastoral, episcopal (ordaining bishops), national (engaging with the culture), and ecumenical (eager to learn from other Christians). As he surveys the history and tensions within the Anglican Church, Packer casts a vision for the future that is grounded in the Scriptures, fueled by missions, guided by historical creeds and practices, and resolved to enrich its people.
Book Synopsis The Church in Anglican Theology by : Kenneth A. Locke
Download or read book The Church in Anglican Theology written by Kenneth A. Locke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic attempt to describe a coherent and comprehensive Anglican understanding of Church. Rather than focusing on one school of thought, Dr Locke unites under one ecclesiological umbrella the seemingly disparate views that have shaped Anglican reflections on Church. He does so by exploring three central historical developments: (1) the influence of Protestantism; (2) the Anglican defence of episcopacy; and (3) the development of the Anglican practice of authority. Dr Locke demonstrates how the interaction of these three historical influences laid the foundations of an Anglican understanding of Church that continues to guide and shape Anglican identity. He shows how this understanding of Church has shaped recent Anglican ecumenical dialogues with Reformed, Lutheran, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. Drawing on the principle that dialogue with those who are different can lead to greater self-understanding and self-realization, Dr Locke demonstrates that Anglican self-identity rests on firmer ecclesiological foundations than is sometimes supposed.

Book Synopsis The Future Shapes of Anglicanism by : Martyn Percy
Download or read book The Future Shapes of Anglicanism written by Martyn Percy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many people, the Church of England and worldwide Anglican Communion has the aura of an institution that is dislocated and adrift. Buffeted by tempestuous and stormy debates on sexuality, gender, authority and power – to say nothing of priorities in mission and ministry, and the leadership and management of the church – a once confident Anglicanism appears to be anxious and vulnerable. The Future Shape of Anglicanism offers a constructive and critical engagement with the currents and contours that have brought the church to this point. It assesses and evaluates the forces now shaping the church and challenges them culturally, critically, and theologically. The Future Shape of Anglicanism engages with the church of the present that is simultaneously dissenting and loyal, as well as critical and constructive. For all who are engaged in ecclesiological investigations, and for those who study the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion, this book offers new maps and charts for the present and future. It is an essential companion and guide to some of the movements and forces that are currently shaping the church.

Book Synopsis Living With History by : Fredrica Harris Thompsett
Download or read book Living With History written by Fredrica Harris Thompsett and published by Cowley Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredrica Harris Thompsett, a scholar of the English Reformation, introduces us to the role that history has played in creating and shaping the Episcopal Church as we know it today. In giving us the broad lessons of Anglican history, she explores in detail both the historian's task and Anglicanism's distinctive history, from its roots in Scripture and the English language Bible and prayerbook to its seventeenth century flowering in poetry and prose and the different forms it has assumed in the American landscape from the time of the Revolution right through to the late 20th century. Thompsett begins by discussing the relationship between history, tradition, and change, and goes on to outline ten key "touchstones" or milestones in Christian history that are of particular interest to Anglicans. Since it is the historian's task to write the "unwritten" as well as the official story of the church, chapter three is a history of ministry in the church, especially of lay ministry. Chapter four looks at three ways that Anglicans have handled conflict and controversy throughout its history, concentrating on the Elizabethan Settlement, the American Civil War, and the impact of Darwin and the new science. Chapter five discusses how theological insight can be "recycled" to shed new light on the problems of today, focusing on Anglican theology of creation and how it helps us address ecology as a spiritual crisis. Finally, chapter six focuses on how a living historical tradition affects the life and mission of the church today, and how we are a part of that history.

Book Synopsis Anglicanism by : Very Revd Prof Martyn Percy
Download or read book Anglicanism written by Very Revd Prof Martyn Percy and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This focused concentration and celebration of Anglican life could not be more timely. Debates on sexuality and gender (including women bishops), whether or not the church has a Covenant, or can be a Communion, and how it is ultimately led, are issues that have dominated the ecclesial horizon for several decades. No book on Anglicanism can ever claim to have all the answers to all the questions. However, Martyn Percy’s work does offer significant new insights and illumination - highlighting just how rich and reflexive the Anglican tradition can be in living and proclaiming the gospel of Christ. These essays provide some sharply-focused snapshots of contemporary Anglicanism, and cover many of the crucial issues affecting Anglicans today, such as the nature of mission and ministry, theological training and formation, and ecclesial identity and leadership. Church culture is often prey to contemporary fads and fashion. Percy’s work calls Anglicanism to deeper discipleship; to attend to its roots, identity and shape; and to inhabit the world with a faith rooted in commitment, confidence and Christ.
Book Synopsis Christ in Eternity and Time by : Niall Coll
Download or read book Christ in Eternity and Time written by Niall Coll and published by Four Courts Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The belief that Jesus of Nazareth is personally identical with the eternally pre-existent Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity and Logos, is an essential component of an orthodox understanding of the incarnation. This book studies the interpretations of Christ's pre-existence in the writings of L.S. Thornton, E.L. Mascall, J.A.T. Robinson and J. Macquarrie. It examines how their views have emerged from their overall approach to Christology in particular and to theology in general. Thornton and Mascall firmly uphold orthodox understandings of the doctrine. Robinson and Macquarrie reject the concept of the personal pre-existence of Christ, regarding it as a relic of an outmoded high christology. They propose that Christ's pre-existence be interpreted as simply an intentional pre-existence in the mind and purpose of God. It becomes apparent that a close parallel exists between the interpretations of the pre-existence of Christ in these authors and their understandings of his post-existence and divine identity. It is clear also that there are ambiguities inherent in the very term 'pre-existence' which leave it open to misrepresentation.In addition, the study acknowledges the importance of a contemporary debate on the subject of the eternity of God among Anglo-American philosophers of religion. Finally, the book demonstrates that one cannot speak of a single, distinctive Anglican approach to the doctrine of Christ's pre-existence, and offers some critical comments on the general shape of contemporary Anglican theology.
Book Synopsis In Search of Authority by : Paul Avis
Download or read book In Search of Authority written by Paul Avis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Grace and Incarnation by : Bruce D. Griffith
Download or read book Grace and Incarnation written by Bruce D. Griffith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes a deep look into the theological underpinnings of the Oxford Movement Tractarians, and the motivations and activities of their inheritors. Was this movement really the most significant single force in the formation of modern Anglicanism, as Eamon Duffy has recently suggested? Is the often-underserved Robert Isaac Wilberforce the great link to Gore and the Liberal Catholics? These and other questions lie beneath the writing of Grace and Incarnation. The Oxford Movement was the beginning of a re-formation of Anglican theology, ministries, congregational and religious life revivals, and ritualism, which was based on a retrieval of the patristic and medieval eras reconstructed around a deep christological incarnationalism. All these were pressed hard up against the rise of what would come to be known as “modernism” with its new canons of authentication. Grace and Incarnation offers not only a mirror in which we can see back into the past but a magnifying glass through which we can understand more of what it means to be Anglican and trinitarian today.
