Anglican Theologians

[Clement Alex]

I am looking to read up on some Anglican theologians. Wanted to know if anyone knew of some websites that had either a list of Anglican theologians with some of their writings or theology or if people had a list of theologians. Or just who is your favorite Anglican theologian.

The ones I can think of off the top of my head would be Cramner, Richard Hooker, Austin Farrer, C.S. Lewis (to some extent), Michael Ramsey, Gregory Dix, J.I. Packer, N.T. Wright (to some extent), and John Henry Newman (again to some extent).

Many Catholic theologians make very good Anglican theologians.

Hans Küng, Roger Haight, Edward Scillebeeckz.

So post-reformation then i what you want

What about some of the Tractarians besides Newman - maybe Pusey or Keble.

Or you could try something like Robert Webber.

His ability to debate is phenomonal.

If you want anglican theology, Google Books, there you can obtain many, Cranmer, Laud, Taylor, Bramhall as well as Hickes, Thorndyke and others. Also C.B.Moss! Many of their works can be obtained on Project Canterbury. Other names are Kidd, Puller or Pullen, Denny , Littledale. There's also Canon Dixon as well as Pusey or Keble.

These are theologians and Historians. Dealing with Anglicanism from its beginning to recent years and dealing wih the ancient fathers as well as the reformation!

Is there a specific area of theology you're keen to read from an Anglican perspective?

 

[Clement Alex]

Thanks for all the answers and names.

Not really, my general topic of research is Church History mainly Patristics so looking at Anglican theologians and theology is a bit out of my area. I have read some of Ramsey and his study on the Holy Spirit, that was interesting.

I guess if pushed my areas of interest in Anglican theology would be with the communion of saints/cult of saints, prayer, and pneumatology.

Dare I add John Wesley?

John Stott

Do you have a favourite Stott book to recommend to a newbie? Folks at my home group seem to be fans.

John Donne is known for his early love poetry, but he took orders (eventually becoming Dean of St. Paul's) and preached sermons of a very high order. The most famous is his last: Death's Duel, which he wrote on his sickbed, and preached before Charles 1st, before dying. I believe he is commemorated on March 31st in the calender.

I have a collection of his sermons on my Kindle. They have the same wit and perception as his poetry, but applied to divine matters.
