Reviews
"Herriot's sage and insightful observations make for compelling reading. This book should be read and studied by all those in the field of ecclesiology and the study of contemporary Christianity. The clarity and cogency of Herriot's work gives us an unrivalled guide to one of the most fascinating fields in the study of the contemporary church." Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church College, Oxford University "This is an invaluable account of how two influential but little-studied movements have shaped the Church of England in recent times. It brings to bear great psychological and sociological insight, as well as humour and good sense." Linda Woodhead, Professor of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, Lancaster University "A helpful and informed read in today's climate and debates." Marie Paterson, The Reader, Volume 118, No 1, Spring 2018 'his experience in organisational studies does offer some interesting insights into two much-publicized movements within the Church of England today - namely, what he terms the Calvinists and the Charismatics' Robin Gill, Editorial, Theology vol.121 no.2, pp.81-2 "Peter Herriot, psychology professor at London's City University and the University of London, has contributed a work crucial to our understanding of contemporary British Anglicanism. Himself a Methodist, he shows a deep understanding of two major movements that have surfaced in the past several decades, the Calvinists and the Charismatics...The book is clearly written and well researched."
