Church, Society, and the Christian Common Good

Theology

“This impressive set of essays does justice to the far ranging interests of the subject here celebrated. Philip Turner is, as Ephraim Radner notes in his Introduction, ‘a Christian missionary, Anglican priest, scholar, and . . . [a] prophet of the Gospel.” A central theme of the essays is what Turner identifies in his Afterword as ‘a red thread that connects the moral reflection to which I have devoted myself over the years’—‘the necessary connection between the Gospel of Christ and the way in which we are called to live both “in Christ” and within the societies of which we are a part.’”

Saint James School of Maryland

History & Biography

“This is a useful discussion of St. James School, told through the lens of the school’s successive headmasters. One chapter is a transcription of a memoir by Adrian Onderdonk (headmaster, 1906-1939), and another is written by the current headmaster, Stuart Dunnan (1992–present) about predecessor John Owens (1955-1984). The book is well worth reading. It contains among other things a frank discussion about slavery and Southern sympathies, and thoughtful reflections on the goal of religious schools.”
