Being an Anglican interested in his heritage, and especially one in Sydney, I wanted to pick up this promising overview of the impact that David Broughton Knox had on the diocese. I'm not done yet but it is so far a great review, especially with how copiously the man himself is quoted in his own words to back up the interpretations of the authors (esp. Loane's essay on Knox's "sacramental" theology). As a consequence, however, being of a very High Church persuasion myself (though still a son of the Reformation; I'm not an Anglo-Catholic), I found myself cringing strongly at the opinions I saw Knox espouse, *especially* on his watering down of the Eucharist and virtual complete abandonment of Baptism towards his life's end, which absolutely shocked me.
I will stop myself short of continuing a rant I already gave to other Anglican friends, and just conclude that this is an excellent historical overview of a giant figure who helped make Sydney Anglicanism what it is today, for better or worse.
