Abstract
ATR/97.1 146 Anglican Theological Review is not yet having this debate, so Davison understandably spends more time on the issues in his own church: baptismal language, communion for infants, and same-sex marriage. On the latter point, Davison suggests that same-sex marriages might be favorably considered through the lens of the traditional “three goods” of marriage, namely “mutual comfort,” “avoidance of sin,” and “nurturing children” (pp. 118–119). Here Davison invites deeper theological conversation on same-sex marriage (and opposite-sex marriage, for that mat- ter), which we desperately need. This book is well suited for a parish study group, a textbook for a college or seminary course, or a review for a church leader who hasn’t dipped into sacramental theology in a while. I heartily recommend this book, especially in this pivotal time in the church’s sacramental life. “In the sacraments, as with the Incarnation, God comes to be with the lowly in a humble fashion, working with and through the most basic, material things of life” (p. 151). This is a reminder we all need to hear, regularly. Scott Gunn Forward Movement Cincinnati, Ohio The Vocation of Theology Today: A Festschrift for David Ford. Edited by Tom Greggs, Rachel Muers, and
