Description
At a time when Anglicans and Evangelicals seem to be increasingly polarized rather than part of the same tradition, an Evangelical Anglican takes a fresh look at the historical and contemporary expressions of each to assess their distinctive standpoints, to show how much common ground they share and to examine what this means for the church today. Practicing Anglicans who consider themselves on one or the other side of the debate, as well as those who would ally themselves with both traditions, will welcome this new appraisal with its insight into meeting points and mutual goals.
This is a vital contribution for all who are concerned to arrest the perception, whatever the reality, of the Anglican church's inexorable decline.

Reviews
-
Review in Theology.

"Turnbull has provided an important contribution to the discussion, which should, if nothing else, enable greater clarity. For that, he is to be thanked."Churchman, Spring 2010
-
'while making a case against catholic and liberal views, [Turnbull] is measured and warm towards opponents. He doesn't duck controversy, touching on homosexuality and evangelical church planting initiatives with some skill. Best read with some knowledge of the issues beforehand and likely to be on the reading list for aspiring Anglican clergy.' Andy Peck, Christianity
