The book provides a clear account of the sacraments of the Christian Church and of the general idea of sacramentality. It will reach out to a wide audience and present solid academic theology in an accessible and popular manner. The approach is distinctively Anglican, Thomist and on the conservative side of 'liberal catholic'.

Review:

'[Why Sacraments?] is no dry, step-by-step exposition of sacramental ritual. Instead one is engagingly immersed within theology and practice, with the interrelation of the sacraments and realities of life demonstrated in an intuitive, compelling way.' --From the foreword
