Geoffrey Fisher

History & Biography

“Hein's book is an excellent introduction to Fisher, and his bibliography is superb. The book is well written, and the final chapter is an admirable summing up not only of Fisher's career but also of the state of the Church of England before, during, and after the years of his archiepiscopate.”

Spiritual Counsel in the Anglican Tradition

“Anyone seeking a way of deepening their spiritual life could hardly do better than buy this [book] and read an extract each day. It is a well-produced and accessible introduction to some of the many stars in the Anglican firmament with a great deal to offer us today." --Gordon Mursell, Modern Believing "One thing this book accomplishes is to demonstrate the wideness of Anglicanism, with the 'usual suspects' joined by the unexpected. Here is Noble Powell, bishop of Maryland, addressing his diocese in the early 1960s, Charles Martin's Letters from a Headmaster's Study, and George Washington Doane, the mid-nineteenth-century bishop of New Jersey, right along with Andrewes and Keble and Temple and Austin Farrer. So much the better. As Julia Gatta says in her foreword, 'Our sense of the communion of saints is immensely deepened.'”
