Brian Douglas, Ph.D. (2006), University of Newcastle, Australia, is Research Professor at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Charles Sturt University, Australia. He has published The Eucharistic Theology of Edward Bouverie Pusey: Sources, Context and Doctrine within the Oxford Movement and Beyond,/i> (Brill, 2015) and A Companion to Anglican Eucharistic Theology (Brill, 2012) as well as numerous peer-reviewed articles in international journals. He is the Editor of the Journal of Anglican Studies (Cambridge University Press).

"This volume adds worthily to the Brill series of ‘Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History’. Douglas’s work is definitive and irreplaceable. ." - Colin Buchanan, Assistant Bishop, Diocese of Leeds, in: Journal of Anglican Studies (2022)."The history, theology and liturgy of the Eucharist in the Anglican Church of Australia has never been written until Dr Douglas’ present book. In a sustained and well researched manner the author brings to light the details, controversies and underlying theological and philosophical concerns that have imprinted themselves on the subject. He is to be congratulated on undertaking this task in such a masterful manner." - Stephen Pickard, Executive Director, Charles Sturt University. "The significance of the book is its combination of history, ecclesiology, and the careful analysis of specific liturgical texts in this framework and the impact of the dynamics of decision making in a synodical church. It is also useful as a substantial exposition of an important aspect of Anglicanism in Australia from its beginnings as a British military colony for exiled convicts. The book will be of interest to liturgical scholars and clergy around the world and also those interested in a vital aspect of Anglicanism in Australia, which has not hitherto been available, to a wider reading public. It should figure on reading lists in seminaries around the world." - Bruce Kaye, Professor, Charles Sturt University.
