Glorious companions : five centuries of Anglican spirituality
"This compendium of religious biographies offers a look inside the hearts and minds of significant shapers of Anglican spirituality over the past five centuries - Thomas Cranmer, John Donne, George Herbert, John Wesley, Dorothy Sayers, C.S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and many more." "Covering twenty-nine of the most influential Anglican figures from the sixteenth century to the present, Richard H. Schmidt deftly chronicles their lives and work while capturing at the same time the deep personal faith that they have managed to communicate so powerfully to the rest of the world." "These icons of the Christian faith include not only bishops and scholars but also housewives, poets, novelists, and teachers. Each chapter contains a brief biographical sketch of its subject, a selection of short, representative quotations from his or her writings, and several questions for reflection and discussion."--Jacket
