The best Anglican Christianity books: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'd recommend J.I Packer's The Heritage of Anglican Theology.

It's also on Scribd if you don't want to buy a hard copy.

Basically just personal choice. Common Worship is a lot more flexible and is mostly in contemporary English, while a lot of people prefer the tradition of the BCP.

Personally, I use this. It's the most simple rendering of morning and evening prayer from Common Worship.

Packer's The Heritage of Anglican Theology is also excellent. He goes through the different traditions within Anglicanism from an evangelical perspective.

It's here on Amazon and it's on Scribd also if you want to read it on a subscription service.

J.I Packer's -. *The Heritage of Anglican Theology" This is an excellent overview of the developments in Anglican history.

Praying with Beads and the Anglican Rosary

Thanks. I would say though that I am in no way anti-Islam and still accept Islam as a true revelation and Muhammad (saws) as a Prophet.

Not much has changed for me really in some ways, others a lot. I can't really expect anyone else to understand my position actually but a book I really resonate with which is my position also is Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road: Exploring a New Path Between Two Faiths by Paul-Gordon Chandler

It's about the Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi who also identifies in the same way now as a Christian who does not reject Islam.

Anglicans And Orthodox: Unity and Subversion 1559-1725. https://www.amazon.com/Anglicans-Orthodox-Unity-Subversion-1559-1725/dp/0852445776/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=anglican+and+orthodox&qid=1604855226&s=books&sr=1-4

Its pretty academic, but tells an interesting story.

You may be interested in the book Anglicans And Orthodox: Unity and Subversion 1559-1725. https://www.amazon.com/Anglicans-Orthodox-Unity-Subversion-1559-1725/dp/0852445776/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=anglican+and+orthodox&qid=1604855226&s=books&sr=1-4

Its pretty academic, but tells an interesting story.

Here is the Article of Faith from the Church of the Nazarene - we get it from the Anglicans through Methodism. We added plenary for complete an are more restrictive on canon.

We believe in the plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, by which we understand the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, given by divine inspiration, inerrantly revealing the will of God concerning us in all things necessary to our salvation, so that whatever is not contained therein is not to be enjoined as an article of faith.

(Luke 24:44–47; John 10:35; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 1 Peter 1:10–12; 2 Peter 1:20–21)

For general Anglicanism, you could look at the Book of Common prayer 1662 or American 1979 and the historical documents. Also The Anglican Way by Fr. Thomas McKenzie which is from more conservative American Anglicans but a good overview.

If you want a good example of someone who firmly believed in the doctrines of grace and yet was kind and loving towards those who didn't, check out some of John Newton's letters. Here's a book with a handful of his letters HERE, or quite a few more letters are found in his Works. It really has to do with humility and love kindled in us by the graciousness of the gospel!

Hey, so your post included an Amazon affiliate link, which is why it was removed. If you link to the John Newton letters via a normal link (like so) that will be just fine.

OP, I'd recommend this book for you. It tells the story of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi. He believes he had an encounter with the resurrected Jesus, and yet never felt the need to leave Islam entirely. To this day, I believe he considers himself a sufi and carries tasbih with him.

Like this (cheaper) or this (seems much better and beautiful, but expensive)?

No offense taken! One way to think about it is that the Church in England existed long before she was in submission to Rome. King Henry's motivations were undoubtedly mixed, however the English Reformers themselves were undoubtedly sincere (many died martyrs) and were passionate about restoring the faith and practice of the early, undivided, Patristic Church. I highly recommend this book for the interested and highly motivated :)

"The Anglican Way" by Thomas McKenzie is an incredible book. Explains pretty much all aspects of the Anglican tradition in a way that is reader-friendly and easy to understand. You can purchase his book on Amazon, check the link below: http://www.amazon.com/The-Anglican-Way-A-Guidebook/dp/0996049908
