DOWNLOAD EBOOKHistorical and Theological Reflections on the Anglican Church from J. I. Packer The Anglican Church has a rich theological heritage filled with a diversity of views and practices. Like a river with a main current and several offshoot streams, Anglicanism has a main body with many distinct, smaller communities. So what constitutes mainstream Anglicanism? Influential Anglican theologian J. I. Packer makes the case that "authentic Anglicanism" is biblical, liturgical, evangelical, pastoral, episcopal (ordaining bishops), national (engaging with the culture), and ecumenical (eager to learn from other Christians). As he surveys the history and tensions within the Anglican Church, Packer casts a vision for the future that is grounded in the Scriptures, fueled by missions, guided by historical creeds and practices, and resolved to enrich its people.

The Poetic Imagination

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"For Anglicans, English lyric poetry occupies a significant place: they do not turn to it in order to learn a spirituality so much as to find "companionship in practising what they have already begun to understand of life in the presence of the Holy." The lyric poet is not primarily engaged in prescribing or instructing. Herbert, Vaughan, Donne and their successors down to Eliot and R. S. Thomas in our own century, offer as it were an overhead discourse that often touches on the hidden depths of the life of the spirit." "William Countryman's obvious love for this poetry, and his sense of a relationship with its writers - a shared history, a shared tradition of worship, a shared gaze towards the Holy - means that this book can also display for its readers something of the "light that surprises", the "discovery of grace", the kind of spiritual awakening that New Testament authors call metanoia."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
