The Revd Dr Andrew Davison is Tutor in Doctrine at Westcott House, Cambridge, where he himself trained, and a member of the Cambridge Theological Faculty; he was formerly Tutor in doctrine at St Stephen's House, Oxford and a member of the Oxford Theology Faculty.

The book provides a clear account of the sacraments of the Christian Church and of the general idea of sacramentality. It will reach out to a wide audience and present solid academic theology in an accessible and popular manner. The approach is distinctively Anglican, Thomist and on the conservative side of 'liberal catholic'.
