"There is a good deal of depth to the material selected, ranging from discussions of Biblical texts to recent Church reports (largely Anglican). There is good historical material, such as Bishop Bell's speech condemning blanket bombing to the House of Lords in 1945." -Reviews in Religion and Theology, 2004 * Reviews in Religion and Theology *
