I started this book back when I seriously began to consider the Anglican tradition, not simply as a way-station, but as a potential destination. I was already attending a local Anglican church at that time, having drifted out of Evangelicalism. I've made my way slowly through this volume, off and on, ever since. I finish it now, almost five years later, a committed Anglican. While I would be vastly overstating things to attribute this to Love's Redeeming Work, the volume has illustrated for me the breadth and depth of Anglicanism as a spiritual tradition. Along the way, I have encountered a variety of authors I now treasure.

This isn't a book to be read straight through, and I haven't. But it's going back to the library and I'll buy a book to read one selection at a time. The authors set to create a collection of the most beautiful theological writing of the Anglicans, and from what I have seen they succeeded.

A collection of lots of Anglicans through history.
