Caused a storm when it was first published, but now, in the words of Archbishop David Hope, "should be seen as a refreshing statement which the Church is crying out for." An Anglican Catechism puts into the hands of anyone seeking to extend knowledge of the Church of England a definitive account of the teachings of the Church. Edward Norman has produced a statement of faith at a time when our understanding has been clouded by the prevalence of secular modes of thought.

Historically, the church's ministry of grounding new believers in the essentials of the faith has been known as catechesis--systematic instruction in faith foundations, including what we believe, how we pray and worship, and how we conduct our lives. For most evangelicals today, however, this very idea is an alien concept. Packer and Parrett, concerned for the state of the church, seek to inspire a much needed evangelical course correction. This new book makes the case for a recovery of significant catechesis as a nonnegotiable practice of churches, showing the practice to be complementary to, and of no less value than, Bible study, expository preaching, and other formational ministries, and urging evangelical churches to find room for this biblical ministry for the sake of their spiritual health and vitality.

The Anglican Church, by virtue of being the Christian communion most closely tied to the colonial history of the West Africa sub continent, could be said to be the oldest historic mission ecclesial body within the region. Emeritus Professor Canon John Samuel Pobee's work The Anglican Story in Ghana is the only published full length monograph of Ghanaian Anglicanism since Church of England missionaries first set foot on the soils of the then Gold Coast in the middle of the 18th century. It is a historical account that features insights into the work and activities of the various dioceses of the Anglican Church including their contributions to education, social evangelism and education in particular. Each chapter is illustrated with pictures of key personnel dating back to the colonial era.

"Evangelical Hospitality: Catechetical Evangelism in the Early Church and Its Recovery for Today describes a church that has lost touch with its deep memory of evangelization, the recovery of that memory in catechetical ministry, and the practices this recovery spawns in the Church. After describing the social construction of faith communities, the book examines four core practices that are entailed in creating cultures of faith - places where believing in Christ becomes plausible and possible. Evangelical Hospitality concludes with perennial principles from Christian communities that learn to construct faith cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
