Title: The Anglican Tradition
Author: Richard Holloway, editor
Publisher: Anglican Book Centre
Year: 1984
124 pages
This little book is a collection of essays from five prominent authors within the Anglican tradition. The goal of the book was to provide an overview of Anglican theological, liturgical, and spiritual traditions, as well as a bit of Anglican history. I would say that it achieved its goal.
Overall, The Anglican Tradition was not a difficult read and it surely did provide a decent amount of background information about what it means to be an Anglican. It would certainly be a good start for anyone exploring the denomination.
It will be a good little book to keep on my shelves, however it is dated. As you can see above, it was published in 1984. While none of the historical facts will change, it would be interesting to read a similar set of essays written by today's generation of Anglican voices. Would traditions and beliefs looks similar, different, or somewhere in the middle?
