Shepherds, Sheep, Hirelings and Wolves: An Anthology of Christian Currents in English Life Since AD 550 by Tim Williams, reviewed by Septimus Waugh
This book is a wonderful serendipitous collection of the writings of contemporaries about the Church in England from AD 550 till the present day. In the introduction to this selection, Tim Williams describes it as intermingling “the everyday tempo of people’s lives with the periods of upheaval as they broke over them… Analysis of all such issues and arguments belongs to a different undertaking. What is presented here is, as far as possible, the evidence of first-hand witnesses speaking in their own unmediated voices.”
