Bishops Past, Present and Future
Description
Bishops, Past, Present, and Future is the fruit of over twenty years of study and reflection on the topics it covers. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date Anglican study of episcopacy produced in recent times. Drawing on primary sources from the New Testament to the present day, it provides detailed answers to three key questions: 'Why should the Church of England have bishops?' 'What is the proper role of bishops?' and 'How should bishops respond to the challenges facing the Church of England and the Church in the West in general?'
This is a book which needs slow reading, like the savouring of a banquet; it is worth reading, like the nourishment of a healthy diet. The book asks for "good enough" bishops; if that's what you would like to be, or that's what you would like to see, please read.
The Rt Revd Keith Sinclair, National Director of the Church of England Evangelical Council and formerly Bishop of Birkenhead

Persons
Best-selling author, international evangelist, gifted preacher and bible teacher, leader of the Charismatic movement and advocate of reconciliation in Northern Ireland, the late David Watson was one of the most influential English Christian leaders in the latter part of the 20th century. Now, 25 years since his early death from cancer, his teaching is as relevant, wise and fresh as when it was first given.
This series of books have been compiled from David's preaching over 20 years, this series of books offers us help on our journey of faith.
"I first heard David Watson preach in 1974 shortly after I had come to faith in Christ. I sat spellbound as I listened to his simple, clear and compelling unravelling of the gospel. I have read every book that he has written ? many of them several times...This is timeless wisdom for 21st century discipleship and I commend it to you."
From the foreword by Nicky Gumbel, HTB, London
