Churches of Northern Europe in Profile: A Thousand Years of Anglo-Nordic Perspective

The theme of this book is provided by the characteristic features of the Swedish Church, viewed from the perspective of her life of a thousand years, in communion with her sister Churches in the Nordic countries and the British Isles. The subject could hardly be of greater or more topical interest, as the Nordic and Baltic Lutheran Churches and the British and Irish Anglican Churches are in the process of entering into closer fellowship and intensified co-operation with one another. In the region which once had its contours drawn by the Vikings, there are now, in today's Europe, great possibilities for the accomplishment of an invigorating Church unity. The author illuminates social developments, Church history, and changes in theology and Church life - and presents to us a rich gallery of strong and colourful personalities.
