Media Reviews
The syllabus requirements for religious education in schools, and the appetites of TV programme--makers, are increasingly emphasising the place of religion as part of the general cultural inheritance. This is a book which will be a valued resource for their interests. But it is also a collection from which Christians themselves will derive insights into a religion which is inherently historical. This collection is impressive in the quality of the essays. There are some really outstanding contributions to interpretation here. Church Times With suggestions for further reading and a chronology which itself runs to ten pages, this is as complete a single--volume history of the subject as one would wish to have. One ends the book wishing to applaud, and not merely because the Editorsa aims have been brilliantly achieved. Chesterton Review It provides a very welcome series of scholarly insights which will be of substantial value to the church historian. EHR
