clearly-written book...I warmly recommned this book The Furrow, September 2008 -- Brendan Leahy
Dr Avis is well-qualified to produce such a study, for he is widely read in Anglican history and in classical anglican divinity this work deserves to be read trough from start to finish Each chapter can also stand on its own and it is available to the reader for future reference. This is, in fact, an excellent resource book, in which may be found the principal texts that invarious ways inform and govern the Angluican churhes (2009)II Ecc LJ 227-229 -- Alec Graham, Sometime Bishop of Newcastle
Reviewed in Religious Studies Review, Vol. 36, No. 2, June 2010 'Overall an excellent description of Anglicanism's past contributions to and continued relevance for the catholic faith'
As ever, [Avis] gives us good historical perspectives. Reviewed by Robert Jeffery in Church Times, May 2008

One comes away from this closely argued and very knowledgeable book with a sense that Anglicanism may hold a position that does take much of what is best from both the Reformed and the Roman Catholic camps...Dr. Avis does a splendid job of giving his description of the identity of Anglicanism.-Glen Ebisch, Catholic Library World, December 2008
However, by being so nuanced, the church has left many of its own members unclear as to exactly where the overall Anglican community stands on many social and doctrinal issues...one comes away with wondering how many others in his own community would agree with it. -Glen Ebisch, , December 2008 Catholic Library World -- negative
This is no mean achievement, and the volume represents a substantial addition to the growing corpus of Anglican studies Reviewed by Stephen R. White, Church of Ireland Gazette, 15 August 2008
