«[...] for all those with any responsibility for the Church’s role
in education, whether as teachers, school leaders, university
staff, governors or diocesan boards of education, this book is a
must.»
(John Gay, Journal of Beliefs & Values 38/2017)
«As I journeyed through this very readable book, I could not help
but applaud the approach. [...] The result is a volume that is very
helpful to those of us who continually attempt to refine our vision
as we work as Christians in Church schools.»
(Richard Coles, British Journal of Religious Education 1/2017)
«Christian Faith in English Church Schools, by Trevor Cooling [...]
is a particularly timely contribution to a debate that will run and
