In the September edition of The Global Anglican, Editor Peter Jensen writes of the importance of good resources for Bible teachers, so they may be properly equipped in intelligent and prayerful ministry to their congregations.

In ‘Communicative or Classical Theism?: Kevin Vanhoozer’s Remythologizing Theology and its Reformed scholastic alternative’, Charlie Butler considers issues of traditional theology and the best way to construe the doctrine of God, first developed in the patristic era.

Another important historical period is the Reformation, and for Anglicans Thomas Cranmer’s theology was hugely important. Maurice Elliott writes on ‘Holiness in the thinking of Thomas Cranmer: An exploration of solifidianism in theory and practice’, describing how Cranmer came to his views on the nature of Christian holiness and how Christians grow.

Going further back in history, in the first part of a two-part series, Bob Evans begins to reclaim an era that is often overlooked by evangelicals, as he looks at theological developments in the early Middle Ages, in ‘Theology among the barbarians (1): A ‘dark age’ for divinity?’

As usual, we have an exciting range of books reviewed by a range of insightful authors.
