Neville Figgis, CR: His Life, Thought and Significance
Series: - Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History, Volume: 7
Volume Editor:
John Neville Figgis, CR (1866-1919) was a brilliant Anglican theologian, historian, political thinker and preacher; he was also a monk. This volume of a dozen freshly commissioned essays by eminent scholars retrieves, expounds and critiques his thought and relates it to the culturally pluralist theological, ethical and political situation in which we find ourselves in the twenty-first century. Although Figgis’ significance is widely acknowledged by scholars, little has been written about him. Figgis has an uncontested place in Anglican and Episcopal thought and is overdue for a concerted study of the many facets of his work and importance.
Paul Avis, is Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, UK. He is the author or editor of many books and numerous articles and is the Editor-in-Chief of Ecclesiology and the Editor of Brill’s series Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History.
