History The Eucharistic Understanding of John Cosin and His Contribution to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, by the Reverend Ivan D. Aquilina. This thesis from the author's graduate study at the University of Leeds explores the eucharistic doctrine of John Cosin (1594-1672), and his role in the revisions that led to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. Ivan Aquilina is curate at All Saints, Margaret Street, London. A History of the Church of England in India Since the Early Days of the East India Company, by Eyre Chatterton (1924). This book covers the history of the Church of England throughout the Indian subcontinent, including modern-day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Burma. The Life and Letters of George Alfred Lefroy, Bishop of Calcutta, by H. H. Montgomery (1920). Lefroy (1854-1919) was head of the Cambridge Mission Brotherhood from 1885-1899; head of the Delhi Mission 1891-1899; Bishop of Lahore from 1899-1912; and Bishop of Calcutta and Metropolitan of India from 1913-1919. During his long service to the Church of England in India, he participated in significant debates on the relationship between imperialism and missionary work, between Islam and Christianity, and about education as well as internal church matters.

Noting The Book that Breathes New Life: Scriptural Authority and Biblical Theology, by Walter Brueggemann, and A New Perspective on Jesus: What the Quest for the Historical Jesus Missed, by James D. G. Dunn are reviewed by Canon Dr Anthony Harvey in the Church Times. In Walter Brueggemann's collection of published articles on the Old Testament, he argues that 'the biblical text must never become familiar and domesticated—whether by the straitjacket of the historical-critical method, or the ideology (as Brueggemann is ready to call it) implicit in canonical criticism.' Dunn 'invites us to enter the world, certainly strange to modern readers, of oral transmission as it is likely to have been practised in the time of Jesus. It will have depended on repeated performance, within a community, of a remembered tradition.' The Cambridge Companion to Karl Rahner, edited by Declan Marmion and Mary E. Hines, is reviewed in the Church Times by Canon John Macquarrie, who says 'Rahner's theology is sufficiently difficult to justify a volume devoted to interpreting him... [however] my advice to the would-be student of Rahner is: Go to his own writings and savour fully the wealth of his ideas and language. Then, if you have problems, turn to his interpreters'. East
End Chronicles, by Ed Glinert, reviewed in the Church Times by the Revd
Malcolm Johnson. 'It contains well-researched information on this [East End
of London] exciting part of the capital, which, with its poverty, music halls,
murders and mayhem, has always held a particular fascination... Bouquets
and brickbats are thrown at Christians and other philanthropists in equal measure.
The Church of England comes out fairly well'. It sounds thoroughly interesting,
even to the reader not up on the lore of the East End. |
