Available 20th October: The Lord’s Supper in Humans Hands

The Australian Church Record and the Anglican Church League would like to foreshadow the release of ‘The Lord’s Supper in Human Hands’ – an attempt to summarise the course of Sydney’s journey towards lay and diaconal administration of the Lord’s Supper.

The book has contributions from John Woodhouse, Mark Thompson, Peter Bolt, Glenn Davies, and Robert Tong.

It assembles the theological arguments for, and answers some objections against. It outlines the timeline of the over 30-year long debate, providing a record of all of the major discussions and decisions, and it sets Sydney’s debate in the context of global discussion and Anglican history.

It will be available from 20th October. Orders can be placed right now.

The price is: $12 AUD.

* Aust: + $3.00 Total: $15.00 AUD

“The influence of Donald William Bradley Robinson as a teacher has been immense. Those privileged to be taught the New Testament by him at Moore College during his twenty one years as lecturer and then Vice Principal have been deeply influenced by his profounded insight into and meticulous care with the text of the New Testament. Almost all would acknowledge that their own ministries have involved passing on something of what they learned from ‘DWBR’. Certainly the teaching at Moore College continues to benefit from the influence of this remarkable scholar and teacher. This publication of many of Donald Robinson’s writings, as well as a collection of essays reflecting on his many contributions to Christian thought and practice, is a welcome event that will enable many more to benefit.”

– Dr John Woodhouse, Principal, Moore College, Sydney
