What is Anglicanism?
Morehouse Publishing 2004 95 p. SC
Holmes, Urban T. III
The Episcopal Church, Anglicanism, and the “Via Media” were ever close to the author’s care and concern as a person, a priest and an educator. He was particularly concerned with and acutely aware of those trends that were oblivious to the rich and inviolate historical traditions of the church. In this book, Anglican heritage is clearly depicted and then directly related to contemporary life.

Living the Gospel
Darton Longman Todd 1993 131 p. SC
Hope, David
Living the Gospel is David Hope’s first book as Bishop of London, and presents a much-needed picture of what makes him tick. His reflections range from the individual’s relationship with God, through Christian ministry, to his vision for the Church in the Decade of Evangelism. He faces difficult questions with integrity and honesty, and includes a revealing chapter on his response to the women’s ordination vote. Always forthright and refreshingly down-to-earth, Dr. Hope communicates his love of the gospel and commitment to serving God’s Church whatever challenges lie ahead. Living the Gospel will be welcomed by all those seeking ways forward even when things seem dark and confused.

Living at the Edge: Sacrament and Solidarity in Leadership
Mowbray/Cassell 1997 200 p. SC
Jamieson, Penny
The first woman in the Anglican Communion to become a diocesan bishop tackles the fundamental problem facing outsiders when they become insiders, or revolutionaries when they win power: how may power be exercised for the good of the community, without slipping into the hierarchical attitudes of the past? Her experiences leads her to another, related, question: how may power be exercised at all in a church of the poor, the marginalized and the outsider, in which power should be turned upside down? This essential book provides insight into Anglican life in New Zealand from an episcopal perspective.

Engaging the Word
Anglican Book Centre 1998 181 p. SC
Johnston, Michael
This is Volume 3 of the “New Church’s Teaching Series.” Like the two earlier Church’s Teaching Series published in the 1950s and the 1970s, this new series presents the distinctive vision Anglicanism offers the people of God in the midst of changing cultures. The author teaches his readers how to use critical and practical tools to explore the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and introduces readers to key terms and concepts used by biblical scholars to understand the literal, historical, and prophetic meanings of the Bible. His examples illustrate the fundamental questions that must be asked of any biblical text in order to enter fully into its meaning for today for individuals and for the worshipping community.

Dancing with God: Anglican Christianity and the Practice of Hope
Morehouse Publishing 2005 177 p. SC
Johnson, Jay Emerson
Theology, long seen as the domain of professors, scholars, and clergy, is actually the work of all God’s people. The author uses the metaphor of dance to help readers—especially those without a theological background—approach the discipline of theology as something we all do, and not only something to believe, because doing theology is the practice of hope. Writing about how Anglicans approach theology, he considers our texts, creeds, and liturgies as invitations to dance with the God of abundant life.

Radical Compassion: The Life and Times of Archbishop Ted Scott
ABC Publishing 2004 544 p. HC
McCullum, Hugh
This biography presents Archbishop Ted Scott’s life as the story of one good man’s struggle to be radical, like his prairie heroes, and also compassionate in his response to the needs of others. He fixed his energy on persons, while at the same time working fervently to raise the systemic issues of the poor and oppressed, the marginalized and weak. The book is also a story of the turbulent times in which Scott lived — the Great Depression of the 1930s and the near-collapse of Western capitalism, the horror of World War II and the nuclear age, the 1960s with their optimistic belief that people together could change the world, and the 1970s and 1980s when market forces threatened both lands and livelihoods.

O’Driscoll, Herbert
A whimsical and satirical look at contemporary church life, after the format of C. S. Lewis’s “Screwtape Letters”, an Anglican priest responds to a bundle of disturbing letters written by a demon charged with the demise of the Church. His tools are the issues that confound and abound in today’s church: alternative literatures, human sexuality, the ordination of women, conflicting theologies, and more. With humour and insight, O’Driscoll encourages us to examine our responses to issues that threaten our Church.

Two priest-scholars examine the future of the concept of “communion” as a viable church structure, tracing its historical development as a self-consciously Anglican third way between Protestant congregationalism and Catholic centralism.

Communion, Covenant and Canon Law: A Challenge and Opportunity for the Anglican Communion … (International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church, Vol. 8 No. 2
Routledge 2008 188 p. SC
Towell, Geoffrey; and Hall, Christine, eds.
The collection of articles here is not an introduction to Anglicanism, nor does it seek to provide a descriptive analysis of the functioning of the Anglican Communion. Rather, it offers multi-disciplinary snapshots of the Communion at a particular time in its history with reference to the 2008 Lambeth Conference and the draft Covenant (proposed in the Windsor Report and successively re-drafted thereafter) and considers how the Anglican Communion might absorb such a development with particular reference to the canon law of its member churches. Articles consider aspects of the draft Anglican Covenant from legal, theological and ecclesiological perspectives.

The Protestant Face of Anglicanism
William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 1998 112 p. SC
Zahl, Paul F. M.
This fascinating volume tells a story that is virtually unknown today: the Protestant background and history of Anglican Christianity. The author attempts to show—contrary to the opinion of many present-day Anglican writers—that Anglicanism is not just a via media (between Rome and Geneva, for example) but has been stamped decisively by classic Protestant insights and concerns. He also discusses the implications of Anglicanism’s Protestant history for our own age, suggesting that this dimension of Anglicanism has an important contribution to make to the worldwide Christian community in the new millennium.
