Opis

This book explores the vital, common, yet surprisingly often misunderstood and neglected vocation of those gifted to combine academic and priestly roles in church, church-related, and secular academic contexts. With a specific focus on Anglicanism as one useful lens, this book draws on the experiences and expertise of voices from around the Anglican Communion; particularly from those who are themselves good examples of an academic-priestly vocation.
