Mark Chapman is Vice-Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, and a Reader in Modern Theology at the University of Oxford, UK. He has written widely on modern church history, ethics and theology. His books include Ernst Troeltsch and Liberal Theology (Oxford), The Coming Crisis (Sheffield), Blair's Britain (DLT) and Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford).

"Written under the auspices of the Affirming Catholicism Movement, the authors provide readers with a relatively unbiased and thought-provoking study of the draft Covenant ... what makes this book unique is its attempt to work towards a resolution of the issue using practical, theological and ecclesiological approaches.  While focussing on one branch of the Christian faith, it offers much food for theological reflection to those of us coming from other branches." - Verbum et Ecclesia
