{"product_id":"9781853117770","title":"To Build Christ's Kingdom: An F.D.Maurice Reader","description":"Frank Dennison Maurice (1805-72) was arguably the most significant Anglican thinker of the modern age, with an immense influence on contemporary Anglican identity and understanding. Through a series of bruising encounters with his contemporaries, he pioneered a creative response to the critical challenges of modernity. Paying equal attention to contemporary criticism and orthodox Christian belief, he anticipated trends in later theology and set a pattern for reflection and negotiation that is familiar in Anglicanism today. In his work on the church's social witness, he founded Christian Socialism; in his writing on the doctrine of the church, he set out principles that remain central to Anglicanism today; he advocated a representative rather than a hierarchical theology of the ministry; and he established the formula of 'Scripture, creeds, sacrament and episopacy' which has guided Anglican approaches to inter-church relations for a century. This reader draws on sermons, pamphlets as well as his classic texts. An introductory essay explores the man and his remarkable legacy.","brand":"Hymns Ancient \u0026 Modern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46351443394801,"sku":"9781853117770","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781853117770_p0.jpg?v=1765387083","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781853117770","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
