Lent with the Beloved Disciple
Michael Marshall
Bloomsbury, £10.99, 208 pages
Michael Marshall turns to the writer of the Gospel of St John in 'Lent With the Beloved Disciple', which Bloomsbury have published as their Lent Book for 2024.
Marshall has served in various roles in the Church of England and further afield; he was Bishop of Woolwich in south London from 1975 to 1984, but since then has focused on teaching, writing and parish ministry on both sides of the Atlantic.
Though I doubt Marshall would claim the same level of prodigy as his colleagues Rowan Williams or NT Wright, his output has been impressive: he is one of a dying breed of Anglican clergymen who write books alongside their other duties.
