Living With History

In Living with History Fredrica Harris Thompsett, a scholar of the English Reformation, introduces us to the role that history has played in creating and shaping the Episcopal Church as we know it today. In giving us the broad lessons of Anglican history, she explores in detail both the historian's task and Anglicanism's distinctive history, from its roots in Scripture and the English language Bible and prayerbook, its debt to the theologians of Chalcedon and Nicea, its seventeenth century flowering in poetry and prose, and the different forms it has assumed in the American landscape from the time of the Revolution right through to the late 20th century.
