Book Reviews
The Cambridge Companion to Friedrich Schleiermacher, edited by Jacqueline Marina, is reviewed in the Church Times by Paul Badham.

Evil and the Justice of God, by N. T. Wright, is reviewed in the Church Times reviewed by Alec Graham. 'Thus it is on forgiveness that he concentrates in suggesting ways in which the justice of God may be effective in public policy and in individual lives; for, as he says, forgiveness "has a claim to be at the very centre of the Christian gospel".'

How on Earth Did Jesus Become a God?, by Larry W. Hurtado, is reviewed in the Church Times by Rt Revd Dr Peter Forster. 'Although remarkable and essentially unparalleled, the worship of Jesus, for its adherents at least, did not detract from traditional Jewish worship of God the Father. It was the distinctively Christian way of offering worship to the one true God. The exalted Jesus is the "Son" or the "image" or the "Word" of God.'

Church History
Last Journal of the Rt. Rev. George Burgess, D.D., Bishop of Maine, from December 27, 1865, to April 20, 1866, edited by Alfred Lee (1866). George Burgess (1809-1866) was the first Bishop of Maine; he died while on this missionary voyage to Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, St Lucia, St Kitts, Nevis, Barbados, Guadeloupe, St Thomas and other islands.

The True Church Principles of Restoration to the Episcopal Office, by John Henry Hopkins (1854). After the suspension of B. T. Onderdonk from his office as diocesan bishop of New York, the Episcopal Church grappled with the question of whether and how he could be restored to office. In this lengthy treatise, future Presiding Bishop J. H. Hopkins argued that he could never be restored.

The Work of Christ in the World, by George Augustus Selwyn (1855). This is series of four sermons preached by the first Bishop of New Zealand, George Augustus Selwyn (1809-1878). He examines four topics with characteristic insight: Christian Work the Best Interpreter of Christian Doctrine, The Work of Christ in England, The Work of Christ in the Colonies and The Work of Christ among the Heathen.

Worth Noting
The example of Jesus points the way to a meaningful pattern of prayer: Bishop Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Credo column of the Times (London). 'To know God is to seek for Him continually. In praying we reach out to our Creator who both reveals and hides Himself, “smiting on the dark cloud with the dart of our longing love” as that medieval Christian treatise The Cloud of Unknowing puts it'.

Book Reviews
Consuming Passion: Why the Killing of Jesus Really Matters, edited by Simon Barrow and Jonathan Bartley, reviewed in The Church Times by Paul Oestreicher. 'What is radically questioned is that it was the will of God that his Son should die as a sacrifice for the world's sin, and that only so could the world be saved.'

Breaking the Mould of Christendom: Kingdom Community, Diaconal Church and the Liberation of the Laity, by David Clark, reviewed in The Church Times by Martyn Percy. A less than self-conscious 'argument for the radical overhaul of a system that appears to lack self-consciousness (that is, Methodism). It is about de-traditionalising the Church, and getting back to Kingdom values and practices.'

God's War: A New History of the Crusades, by Christopher Tyerman, reviewed in The Tablet by Jonathan Riley-Smith who summarizes his own review: 'This is a serious, competent and well-written survey of the existing state of knowledge, with respect to the narrative of the crusading movement.'

The Old Enemies: Catholic and Protestant in Nineteenth-century English Culture, by Michael Wheeler, reviewed in The Church Times by Bernard Palmer. 'It is the purpose of this engaging study to examine why these ancient divisions [Roman Catholic and Protestant], originating in Reformation times, should have cut so deep and lasted so long; and how 19th-century writers — novelists and poets, historians and essayists, theologians and pamphleteers — reinterpreted them.'

Canada
Ontario: Parish of Vankleek Hill [St John the Apostle, Vankleek Hill; St Paul, Fenaghvale; St Paul, East Hawkesbury] (Ottawa)

Church History
A Sermon Preached on Thursday, November 29, 1759, by Edward-Pickering Rich (1759). In this sermon, English poet-priest E. P. Rich gives thanks for the British army's victory at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham near Quebec City.

A Vindication of Their Majesties Authority to Fill the Sees of the Deprived Bishops, attributed to Edward Stillingfleet (1691). In this pamphlet, an author believed to be Edward Stillingfleet (1635-1699) argues for the crown's authority to replace Nonjuring bishops who refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to King William. This document in particular was occasioned by the refusal in 1691 of William Beveridge (1637-1708) to become bishop of Bath and Wells, the see vacated in that year by Thomas Ken.

(Unlike 19th-century England, the US will probably not prosecute and imprison priests who persist in Catholic liturgical practises.)
