Summary:

Ward is principal at St. Stephen's House at the University of Oxford where priests are trained for the Anglican Communion. He explores some theological themes he thinks are central to a proper understanding of ministerial priesthood in the Christian religion, but that have come to be seen as either unfashionable or redundant because of the contemporary assumptions about what that ministry should be. He reflects on religion, mystery, sacrifice, priesthood, rite, and cure. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
