5.0 out of 5 stars Brief, but brilliant!, 2 Oct 2001
By R. Mann "Rachel Mann" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Avis calls his book 'an introduction' - this it certainly is, but anyone expecting a breezy beginner's guide is in for a shock. This is a tightly argued, rigorous summary that takes the reader to the heart of key issues shaping the Anglican Church's self-understanding whilst providing him/her with enough intellectual 'oxygen' to enable more advanced study. In short, this is a book that both stands on its own as brief, but potent argument and as a guide into deeper waters. A fine introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD, 24 Jul 2008
By Klc Beer "KEV IN HOPE" (DEVON) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was lent a copy of this book, but found it so good that I have just ordered my own copy. A very good book for anyone who needs some perspective on why they are an anglican or perhaps why not. This book describes anglicanism in a very clear and rounded way. I have read it as someone who is looking to ordination and I found it a very affirming read, and especially helpful when completing those Bishop's conference forms and answering those deep and meaningful questions that come one's way. I found it uplifting, affirming and exciting. It just goes to show don't judge a book by its cover.
