Meer over het boek

Lancelot Andrewes, a key figure in the early Church of England, shaped a moderate Anglican theology that emphasized sound learning and a high view of the Eucharist, countering the puritanical trends of his time. His roles included Dean of Westminster and Bishop of Chichester, Ely, and Winchester, and he significantly contributed to the Authorized Version of the Bible. Renowned for his preaching, he was favored by monarchs and authored "The Private Devotions of Lancelot Andrewes," a vital resource for personal prayer. This collection showcases his influential writings and provides an insightful introduction.
