Worth Noting
The Cambridge Companion to Reformation Theology, edited by David Bagchi and David C. Steinmetz, is reviewed in the Church Times by Alec Ryrie.

Christianity: The Complete Guide, edited by John Bowden, is reviewed in the Church Times by Leslie Houlden. 'It is inventive and courageous in tackling its vast subject, balanced in the opinions expressed, and readable in article after article.

Grace and Necessity: Reflections on Art and Love, by Rowan Williams, is reviewed in the Tablet by Jeremy Hooker. Rowan Williams 'reflects on “the relationship between Christian thought and the practice of the arts”. The reflections start from the aesthetic philosophy of Jacques Maritain, and focus mainly on two Catholic artists to whom Maritain's writings showed “a way of making sense of what they were doing that was entirely consistent with their beliefs”. These are the poet and painter David Jones, and the novelist and short-story writer Flannery O'Connor.'
