Description
Edward King Pastor, Bishop and Saint by Michael Marshall This biography explores the life and work of Edward King, a remarkable figure in the history of Anglicanism. As a teacher, pastor, bishop, and acclaimed saint, King had a profound impact on the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion. King's influence was shaped by his association with John Henry Hobart, Bishop of New York, who played a significant role in shaping the mission and vision for Anglicanism. Through his personal holiness and gift of empathy, King challenged and changed the character of the Church, virtually inventing pastoral theology as a serious subject. His ministry among the needy and vulnerable is also notable, reflecting his commitment to communicating the gospel to all people. King's legacy continues to speak powerfully to the needs of the world in any age, making this biography an important contribution to our understanding of Anglican history and tradition.
