'... Canon law is often seen as a rather arcane business, but the contributors to this readable and beautifully-produced collection treat it as an aspect of the Church living in the real world ... This fine tribute would be of interest to a wider readership than that of canon-law specialists.' (Journal of Ecclesiastical History). `It is a useful introduction to the Anglican tradition for those of other traditions who are ignorant of it ... It is a fine Festschrift and the editors and contributors are to be congratulated on its production.' (Irish Theological Quarterly) ` ...an excellent and scholarly volume ... ' (Church Times) ` The range and quality of these writings confirm that there is taking place a real renaissance in the study of the law of the Church of England. In our opinion, this can and ought to interest Catholic canonists.' (Monitor Ecclesiasticus) '...an impressive book...' (The Cambridge Law Journal)
