Notes from a Wayward Son

"Andrew Walker inhabits the life of the mind with rare clarity and insight. He probes and tests the dynamics of contemporary Christianity with innumerable shafts of constructive insight, making sense of theological, sociological, and cultural dynamics. He has the intellectual gifts to understand Christians with whom he cannot fully agree in ways that help them and those unlike them better understand themselves. Andrew's contribution to the academy and the church is profound and admirable." --Rob Warner, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive, Plymouth Marjon University "There are very few scholars who bring together genuine experience and appreciation of the Charismatic movement, Pentecostalism, and Eastern Orthodoxy, along with a sensitivity to the currents running through the wider church across the world. Andrew Walker does this and more in this fascinating collection of pieces touching on his extraordinary wide-raging interests. There is much here to stimulate and to instruct--it is forthright yet sensitive, perceptive yet pastoral." --Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington, President of St Mellitus College "The second edition of Notes from a Wayward Son highlights the ground-breaking work of Andrew Walker, bringing together his expertise in sociology and his commitment to orthodox trinitarian theology." --Pete Ward, Professor of Practical Theology, University of Durham
