Alcohol and the Family: A Comprehensive Bibliography - Bibliographies and Indexes in Sociology Diane K. Augustino

Written by Trevor Beeson, this text provides a complete survey of some of the most interesting bishops of the Church of England from the 19th century to the present. It aims to bring the bishops alive for the reader and considers their significance in the social and ecclesiastical settings of their times. It also has an urgent message, as it questions whether the busy managerial role adopted by bishops today represents a betrayal of the episcopal office and a weakening of the Church's witness in an increasingly secularized society.
