About the Book

Archbishop Michael Ramsey was arguably Anglicanism's saint of the 20th-century. Clever, humble, shy, full of sympathy and with a great wit, his outstanding gift was that he made God real for people. It is said that when he read a Bible lesson, it was as if every word was on fire, and his robust saintliness was tangible, even in telephone conversations. This study explores what made him such a remarkable figure. Drawing on his published and unpublished writings and on the many personal recollections of him, "Glory" (a favourite expression of his) explores his theological understanding, his vision of the Church, or worship and the Christian life. A complementary volume to Owen Chadwick's biography, it is arranged around themes that were central to him: the meaning of the cross, the Church's life, the primacy of worship and the Church's unity. A record of a Christian leader for all students of church life.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 The meaning of the cross: living through dying; the servant's sacrifice; the hard road of the cross. Part 2 The Church's life: an event 'born in eternity'; the 'one race'; theology and the spirit. Part 3 The primacy of worship: the saint's hidden life; set apart in awe and mystery. Part 4 The Church's unity: the great Church; unity in pain. Conclusion: the last sermon at All Saints.

About the Author :
Douglas Dales is Chaplain and Head of Religious Studies at Marlborough College in Wiltshire. He met Michael Ramsey when he was a student at Cuddesdon and they remained close friends until the Archbishop's death.

Review :
'This is that rare book: learned yet deftly and lovingly explained, simple yet deep. I feel the better for being in its presence: as if I had completed a Summer School with a teacher who makes God real and Anglican theology attractively wholesome. And to make God real for someone, according to Ramsey, is to be a saint. (...) Ramsey always gets me thinking about God in Christ in new ways - with wonder and fresh hope. Dales has found much treasure.' 'This is an important book for priests and laity, and we must be grateful for the quiet scholarship which makes it accessible, arguably when it has never been more urgently needed. It brings us the thought of a man who - though in his self-effacing way he would have dismissed the term - is increasingly recognized as an Anglican saint of the twentieth century.'
