Abstract
This volume examines what it is that makes Anglican theology Anglican. Beginning with a treatment of the ways in which Anglican theology is and is not distinct from other types of Christian theology, the theological features that mark the general boundaries of Anglican theologizing are described before considering a set of eight interconnected characteristics that provide Anglican theology with its distinctive profile. It is argued that, by setting its boundaries as widely as possible and requiring subscription to specific theological propositions as little as possible, Anglican theology is in essence a wisdom theology that seeks to build the capacity for faithful Christian discernment in belief and practice.
