Winfield Bevins provides an accessible overview of Anglican history, theology, and worship. With discussion questions and recommended reading at the end of each chapter, plus a glossary of terms in the back, this book is the ideal introduction to Anglicanism!Far from being a faith of the past, Anglicanism presents a rich spiritual tradition that has matured into a worldwide movement of Christians on every continent. The Anglican tradition offers a refreshing alternative to our postmodern world by helping us reconnect to the historic Christian faith in a way that speaks to our present age. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:“If you are considering joining the Anglican communion, this is the book…Here we get worship, liturgy, prayer, theology, and history — along with living the Christian life — in a short, accessible book.”Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary"Anglicanism, all the cool kids are doing it, but what is it precisely? In Simply Anglican, Winfield Bevins provides an easy to read explanation of Anglicanism, its history, theology, and liturgy. A recommended read for anyone considering becoming Anglican or who wants to know why so many young people are joining Anglican churches.”Michael F. Bird, Academic Dean and Lecturer in Theology, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia“I meet regularly with people who are interested in learning more about Anglicanism but unsure where to start. I’m very pleased that I can now direct them to Simply Anglican. It’s a trustworthy first-step resource with plenty of direction given for further study. I’m grateful to Winfield Bevins and Anglican Compass for offering such a concise and readable introduction to the Anglican tradition.”Emily McGowin, Assistant Professor of Theology, Wheaton College“This is a book I’ve been waiting for! Bevins gives a warm, concise, and accessible outline of Anglican history, faith, and worship…But this is much more than an introduction; it is an invitation into a beautiful faith.”Glenn Packiam, Pastor, New Life Downtown, Author of Worship and the World to Come“My colleague, Winfield Bevins, has written an introduction to Anglicanism that is fresh, easy to grasp and inspired by love for God and a missional heart for one’s neighbor. If you are exploring the intersection of liturgy, sacrament and mission, I highly recommend Simply Anglican.”Todd Hunter, Bishop of The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others, Author of The Accidental Anglican"Dr. Winfield Bevins writes Simply Anglican as an outsider and an insider. That duo perspective gives him a vantage and an independent position to evaluate the unique Anglican identity. His journey into Anglicanism is captivating and invites the reader to get deeper into the book to appreciate the richness of Anglicanism. Though simple, it is thoughtful and graciously orthodox. I would recommend this book to both those who are exploring Anglicanism and those Anglicans who need to refresh themselves with the Anglican tradition as told from a fresh perspective.”Sammy Wainaina, Provost of All Saints’ Cathedral, Nairobi, Kenya"Simply Anglican is a guide to the Anglican way of being Christian that is both reliable and refreshing. It provides an overview of the history, theology, liturgy and mission of this major worldwide expression of the Church that is highly informative and at the same time delightfully motivating. For anyone wanting to understand Anglicanism, this is a great place to start, but it is unlikely to be the end. The reader will want to know more and, I hope, enter more fully into the Anglican way of following Jesus."Justyn Terry, Vice Principal and Academic Dean, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
