Reviews

"Holmes provides a comprehensive and eminently readable account of her topic and of the tensions, as identified in her subtitle, between legalism and grace over the course of the last century. It will constitute a useful background resource of fact and commentary." - Richard Lindley, Winchester Cathedral
