Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail

The late Robert E. Webber was an influential scholar who wrote numerous books on the convergence of evangelical and liturgical traditions. He served as professor of theology at Wheaton College and founded the Institute for Worship Studies in Orange Park, FL.Lester Ruth is the Research Professor of Christian Worship at Duke Divinity School in Durham, NC, and teaches worship history at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies in Orange Park, FL. An ordained Methodist pastor, Ruth was a close collaborator with Robert Webber prior to Webber's death in 2007.

“Bob Webber's prescient analysis stands up these many years later, and the added material in this edition makes it even better. Some evangelicals journeyed all the way to Canterbury. Others of us have joined for parts of the journey, embracing the beauty of the liturgy, the Eucharist, and the Book of Common Prayer. I'm thrilled that the message of this book continues to shine.”—Tony Jones, author of A Better Atonement and theologian-in-residence at Solomon's Porch
