"The authors, as one might expect from an episcopal
church, include three present or former archbishops, 13 bishops, 20
or so priests and 40-odd academics, many of them professors (with
some overlap between the last two groups), so there is plenty of
authoritative scholarship and expertise here."
(Reference Reviews, 1 October 2014)

"The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to the Anglican Communion
(WBCAC) is an unprecedented work on global Anglicanism. It
offers a thorough account of the history, structures, members and
major themes in Anglican thought, which is as comprehensive as it
is comprehensible. As a guide to the Anglican Communion, it
leaves no notable stone unturned." (Churchman, 1
August 2014)

"This is a valuable contribution to understanding the
Anglican Communion. Summing Up: Recommended.
Lower-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners;
general readers." (Choice, 1 December 2013)

"This wide-ranging and wonderfully comprehensive companion
is really a well-informed guide. Its many essays,
together with reports from the provinces which constitute the
Communion, provide the background and present the challenges that
face the Communion, and its member churches, as it looks to the
future. The vast amount of information contained here is invaluable
to anyone interested in the evolution of what is known as
Anglicanism."--Frank T. Griswold, XXV Presiding
Bishop, The Episcopal Church

"The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to the Anglican
Communion marks an important, and much-needed, effort to
assemble the best of modern Anglican scholarship in a cooperative,
global enterprise, across theological as well as geographic and
economic dividing lines to chart something of the vicissitudes of
Anglican diversity-in-unity. Here, remarkably, some of the best
minds of modern Anglicanism, and a host of recognized leaders,
wrestle with the meaning of Anglican identity and history in a
single, comprehensive sweep. A rare feat of both scholarship and
ecclesial service by Anglicans for the good of the whole--and a
first fruit, we may hope, of many similar, cooperative
efforts."--Christopher Wells, Executive Director
and Editor of The Living Church Foundation
