This reissue of Archbishop Ramsey's classic theological study of Anglican views of the church is important for students of ecumenism, and for those concerned with the relationship between Christ and the church in the New Testament. Although some of the book is dated, its conviction that the church's meaning lies in its fulfillment of the sufferings of Christ and that every part of its history is intelligible in terms of the Passion remains perceptive and challenging.
Examining Scripture, doctrine, and history, Ramsey paints an intricate portrait of the church as an example of Christ's death and resurrection. He explores Eastern orthodox doctrine; explains the purposes and preconditions of the Reformation; and calls for a renewal of liturgical worship and reconciliation within the communion of the saints.
Originally published in 1936 while he was serving as sub-warden of Lincoln Theological College, this was Ramsey's first book. After more than seventy years, its wisdom concerning the relationship between Catholic and Evangelical, and the underlying complementarities and tensions which characterize the Anglican tradition, remains theologically sound and biblically astute.
The Right Reverend and Right Honorable Arthur Michael Ramsey (1904-1988) was the 100th archbishop of Canterbury. He also served as archbishop of York, bishop of Durham, and president of the World Council of Churches. Ramsey was the Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University and an influential Anglican theologian. His portrait appeared on the cover of Time magazine, August 16, 1963, introducing coverage of The Anglican Communion: Worldly, Worldwide, Catholic, and Protestant. A noted scholar, his other works include The Resurrection of Christ (1944), F.D. Maurice and the Conflicts of Modern Theology (1951), and From Gore to Temple: The Development of Anglican Theology between Lux Mundi and the Second World War 1889-1939 (1960).
