Reasonable Radical?

“This volume exemplifies the approach which distinguishes Martyn Percy’s work: open, interdisciplinary, and generative of new connections and approaches.”


—Linda Woodhead, Professor, Lancaster University





“An excellent introduction to a theologian who represents the best of contemporary Anglican thought, with a deep spirituality firmly rooted in reality.”


—Keith Ward, Professor, University of Oxford





“If the church is permanently in crisis—necessarily so in light of its eschatological character—then it requires lucid and shrewd interpreters like Martyn Percy to mediate its critical engagement with society. This collection is therefore both timely and ambitious in its scope, insights, and humanity, and the balance is impressive and substantial. It takes some courage to be so liberal in today’s Anglican Communion, but Percy’s work shows how relevant that struggle remains.”


—Gareth Jones, Professor, School of Theology, Charles Sturt University





“In these wide-ranging and fascinating essays, the reader is invited to explore the many and multi-faceted contributions of Martyn Percy—priest, practical theologian, and sociologist of religion—and the open, generous Anglicanism that lies at the heart of all his work.”


—Jane Shaw, Professor, Stanford University
