Zachary Guiliano is a doctoral candidate in medieval history at St. John’s College (Cantab.) and a Gates Cambridge Scholar (2012–2015). He was recently Kellogg Fellow at the Episcopal Chaplaincy at Harvard, where he was a regular lay preacher and catechist. His primary research focuses on patristic and early medieval biblical interpretation and preaching, but his interests range from contemporary biblical studies to Anglican history to medieval Latin paleography. He has published in the Encylopedia of the Bible and Its Reception, Studia Patristica, and The Living Church. He has also contributed articles to medieval manuscript exhibits at Harvard University.Charles M. Stang is Associate Professor of Early Christian Thought at Harvard Divinity School and a former Episcopal Church Foundation Fellow (2002–2005). His research and teaching focus on the history and theology of Christianity in late antiquity, especially Eastern varieties of Christianity. He is the author of Apophasis and Pseudonymity in Dionysius the Areopagite: «No Longer I», co-editor with Sarah Coakley of Rethinking Dionysius the Areopagite, and editor of The Waking Dream of T. E. Lawrence: Essays on His Life, Literature, and Legacy.

«Against the background of a denomination that seems to lurch from one crisis to the next, these essays offer penetrating and rigorous discussions of what it means to be ‘open’ in theology and in the church. Coming from a wide variety of theological perspectives and disciplines, the authors seek to raise the tone of the debate: instead of the panic and paucity of theology that have characterized so many of the responses to current issues (such as human sexuality), these essays offer a far more considered and theological appraisal of the situation facing the Anglican Communion in its wider social and political context. In short, this collection offers some of the most creative theological thinking in Anglicanism in recent years.» (Mark Chapman, Vice-Principal, Ripon College Cuddesdon, and Reader in Modern Theology, University of Oxford)
