“The authors, as one might expect from an episcopal church, include three present or former archbishops, 13 bishops, 20 or so priests and 40-odd academics, many of them professors (with some overlap between the last two groups), so there is plenty of authoritative scholarship and expertise here.”  (Reference Reviews, 1 October 2014)“The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to the Anglican Communion (WBCAC) is an unprecedented work on global Anglicanism.  It offers a thorough account of the history, structures, members and major themes in Anglican thought, which is as comprehensive as it is comprehensible.  As a guide to the Anglican Communion, it leaves no notable stone unturned.”  (Churchman, 1 August 2014)“This is a valuable contribution to understanding the Anglican Communion.  Summing Up: Recommended.  Lower-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.”  (Choice, 1 December 2013)
