Worth Noting
Auden and Christianity, by Arthur Kirsch, is reviewed in the Church Times by Ronald Blythe
. 'Beautifully written, brief, and persuasive, his book traces Auden’s faith through some of his most celebrated poems, through his early and late days, and through his literary criticism.'

The Great Passion: An Introduction to Karl Barth's Theology, by Eberhard Busch, is reviewed in the Church Times by Graham Gould. 'To read this book is to immerse oneself in a theological world-view that is powerful and inspiring, now just as during the crises of the Nazi era. For readers who have a good general theological awareness, if not for novice students of theology, this can be commended as one of the best introductions to Barth available.'

The Modern Theologians: An Introduction to Christian Theology Since 1918, 3rd edition, edited by David Ford and Rachel Muers, is reviewed by Simon Oliver. 'This volume presents the reader with basic information, but also demonstrates the dynamic practice of theology. It is to be warmly commended as a fresh resource for anyone seeking a path into the breadth and rigours of theological conversation today, and over the past one hundred years.'

A Memorial Representing the Present State of Religion, on the Continent of North-America, by Thomas Bray (1701). Bray (1656-1730) writes on the religious needs of colonists in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Long Island, North and South Carolina, the Bermudas and Newfoundland.

The Nepowewin Station: Journals of the Reverend Henry Budd, serialised in the Church Missionary Intelligencer (1854), three instalments: April, May and June.
