ÒThe Catholic ReligionÓ is a dogmatic theology and a handbook for catechesis in the Anglican tradition. Staley walks the reader through the history of the Christian faith with special attention to the Creeds and essential doctrines like the Trinity and the Incarnation. The book also addresses the ChurchÕs worship and the duties of the Christain life. Staley takes a decidedly high-church approach to the subejcts he discusses, but in doing so demonstrates that the opposite of Catholic is not Protestant, but heretic. ÒThe Catholic ReligionÓ is an excellent resource for both clergy and laymen who desire a deeper understanding of the Anglican tradition, especially from an Angl-Catholic perspective.
