Summary:

This new assessment of the historic Anglican and Evangelical traditions comes at a crucial time for the Anglican church. Instead of dialogue, there is often a stubborn adherence to entrenched views. Instead of debate, there is acrimony. The resulting division and insecurity not only damage the church itself but undermine its influence in the world.

Yet, argues Richard Turnbull, there is much that the traditions of Anglicanism and Evangelicalism have in common. Indeed, when the roots of both are examined, much of the confusion which dominates the modern Anglican agenda can be swept aside. This is not to fudge the genuine differences, but by looking at the past, the present is illuminated and mutual understanding and cooperation encouraged. The Anglican Evangelical, asserts the author, is a distinctive that can be recovered with confidence.
