Rezensionen

Anyone concerned about the 'Anglican Covenant' or moves toward centralized authority in the Anglican Communion needs to read this accessible and important overview of Ramsey's thought. Cramer offers an evenhanded critique of all parties in the current controversies and a bonus - an exceedingly helpful, concise, and clear summary of the recent development of the putative four instruments of unity. -- The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bisho, 26th Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church In troubled times within the Anglican Communion it is very good to be reminded of Archbishop Michael Ramsey's generous and eirenic theology. We still have much to learn from his deep wisdom. This new book is timely and very welcome. -- Rev. Dr. Robin Gill, University of Kent "Safeguarded by Glory is Jared C. Cramer's exploration and application of the theological commitments of Archbishop Michael Ramsey and his ecclesiology of "glory," in light of contemporary Anglican struggles. As such, Cramer's work joins a number of recent publications which were either given impetus by, or written in the background of, the recent travails in the Anglican Communion over governance issues and human sexuality. It is the first to focus upon the thought of a single, influential Anglican author and is thus a welcome addition to the recent literature." Anglican Theological Review
