From the Publisher
“Few theologians display the distinctive witness of contemporary British Baptists so luminously as the life and work of John Colwell. This snapshot of a larger than life figure lets us glimpse an especially winning period of British Baptist theology, beautifully displayed by the volume’s orientation around a theme dear to John’s heart—the great daily liturgy of the church catholic.”
—Brian Brock, King’s College, Aberdeen
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s the greatest merit of these closely observed and finely argued essays that they not only draw deeply on the substance of John Colwell’s admirable work but also follow its trajectory. In these pages one senses not just wisdom, or insight—but love.”
—Sam Wells, Vicar, St Martin-in-the-Fields
“This is a theological gem: Liturgy, spirituality, doctrine, and biblical hermeneutics are beautifully woven together here. The authors do great justice to the creativity and integrity of John Colwell—a unique Baptist teacher and preacher. Moreover, like John Colwell, they push the boundaries of contemporary Baptist theology in ways that will inspire and equip Christian leaders in all traditions of the Church.”
—Myra Blyth, Regent’s Park College, Oxford
