Good General Overview and History of Anglicanism

Stephen Neill writes as historian, theologian and Anglican Bishop. He provides a more than adequate narrative of the history of Anglicanism that includes fairly in-depth writing of the conflicts of the early history of the Reformation in England. He provides good but brief introductions to the major figures in Anglicanism. This is introductory writing of the whole general scope of Anglicanism. Neill also provides introductions and summaries of the history of the globalization of Anglicanism. Through the book, readers will get a sense of the theology, structures and ongoing tensions within the Anglican Communion while also getting a flowing historical narrative.
