Ann Loades has been instrumental in bringing forward for the attention of readers in later generations “voices from the past,” notably highlighting the work of pioneering women such as Evelyn Underhill and Dorothy L. Sayers as well as advancing the study of better-known Anglican forebears C. S. Lewis and Austin Farrer—always with her own distinctive concerns. A key interpreter of the Anglican tradition and with a keen eye to ensure the full recognition of women, these studies by Ann Loades are essential reading in Anglican, feminist, and twentieth-century theology.
"This is an important collection of Ann Loades’ reflections on significant twentieth century Anglican lay theologians, including a number who have been neglected. Stephen Burns has done a fine job in gathering and editing the materials, and it marks a fitting memorial to Loades’ huge contribution to modern theology, spirituality and philosophy." — Professor Nicola Slee, Director of Research, The Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education, Birmingham, UK; Professor of Feminist Practical Theology, VrijeUniversiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Visiting Professor, University of Chester, UK.
