Book Description
The book contains a fine, comprehensive study of John Macquarrie, the most important Anglican theologian of the 20th century. The study shows why Macquarrie’s greatest influence may yet lie in the future while recognizing controversial aspects of Macquarrie’s thought and dealing with its critics. The study presents a careful, nuanced analysis of every major aspect of Macquarrie’s theology, including his interest in mysticism. The book shows Macquarrie to be an important voice for tolerance, ecumenism, and balance in our current pluralistic situation in theology. (from the Foreword)
