Glory!

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.

• 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.

'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.'
