Author Description

"This idea for this book emerged when Stephen Burns co-taught a class on Twentieth Century Anglican Theologians with Kwok Pui-lan at Episcopal Divinity School (EDS) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where both he and Pui-lan were on faculty. Pui-lan and Stephen were agreed that no existing book could serve as a core text for the class, given the Anglo-centric or North Atlantic bias of so much of the literature that exists. Stephen thanks Pui-lan for seeking alternatives to the usual suspects in that class, as in so much of her work."-- Offers a wide-ranging view that presents a survey of over twenty diverse Anglican thinkers. Well-known theologians are set in a wider context alongside others from India, China, Australia, Ghana, and elsewhere. The subjects include a number of women. The book reflects the rich diversity of Anglicanism.
