So "deep" means the root vision of traditional Anglicanism. It means digging down to see how the greatest Anglican minds and hearts saw the Trinitarian God, and the ways they saw this God come to his people through the Church of Jesus Christ. It means starting in the first centuries of Christianity in the British Isles and not simply the sixteenth century. It means exploring the wealth of Anglican spirituality in the 14th and 17th centuries. It means appreciating the liturgical genius of Thomas Cranmer but also the extension and revision of that liturgy by the bishops of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, which for most of the last 350 years has been the only official version in the Anglican Communion. It means figuring out not only what distinguishes Canterbury from Rome and Geneva but also from Wittenberg. More recently, it means discerning why the orthodox center of Anglicanism has moved to the Global South and away from Canterbury.In short, it means plumbing the depths of orthodoxy, liturgy, and sacraments, while travelling on the pilgrim road and living a life of adoration in pursuit of the Beatific Vision.

Não é difícil perceber que a análise da relação entre o cristianismo, o povo judeu e a terra de Israel é marcada por opiniões divergentes. Para muitos cristãos, Israel não passa de um Estado opressivo. Para outros, é o lar do povo escolhido de Deus. Após duas décadas de pesquisa sobre o significado de Israel e do judaísmo para a teologia cristã, o respeitado teólogo Gerald McDermott oferece um terceiro ponto de vista. A importância de Israel desafia a suposição defendida por muitos cristãos de que, após a vinda de Jesus, os judeus deixaram de ser especiais para Deus e de que a terra de Israel se tornou teologicamente insignificante. À luz de uma nova interpretação de passagens do Novo Testamento, o autor (que também defendia esse tipo de raciocínio) mostra que tanto o povo quanto a terra de Israel continuam relevantes para o futuro da redenção e refuta a ideia da teologia da substituição, que considera a igreja o novo Israel.

Quem são os grandes teólogos da igreja? O que havia de especial em seus ensinos? O que podemos aprender com eles hoje? Neste livro o autor não apenas nos instrui sobre onze teólogos de grande importância, mas também nos ajuda a identificar aquilo que continua válido para os nossos dias. Com perguntas para reflexão e debate no final de cada capítulo, Grandes teólogos é perfeito para o estudo individual ou em grupos pequenos. À medida que se der o estudo, os membros do grupo podem explorar a história teológica que um partilha com o outro e também descobrir as razões por que cada um crê no que crê. Aqui está a oportunidade de pensar sobre Deus juntamente com "os grandes".
