‘McGrath inspires new hope for the future of Anglicanism. Indeed, this book is in itself the beginning of the renewal, a first step in the thinking, talking and action that under God will give life to his people.’ John Macquarrie. ‘This fine work offers both evidence of and guidance for the renewal of the Anglican Communion. Its horizon is ecumenical and it offers a vision of the role which Anglicanism could again play in the renewal of the universal Church.’ Lesslie Newbigin. ‘McGrath’s central plea is for a new via media, avoiding both obscurantist fundamentalism and shallow liberalism. He argues with wit and incisiveness, and will probably win approval and provoke indignation in equal measure. He will certainly stimulate a healthy debate about the relationship between theologians and the rest of the Christian community – are they to be brothers and sisters working for the same family business, or distant cousins who rarely, if ever, communicate? The Renewal of Anglicanism is an important manifesto for the kind of theology the Church of England will need if it is to more than limp into the next millennium.’ John B. Taylor, Bishop of St Albans.
