Clunk! An unusually thick envelope arrives with the post. A book! From Evangelicals Now! For me to review!

But what is this? The enthusiastic endorsement on the cover is from Archbishop Desmond Tutu. An author's foreword for this new British edition tells us 'Robin Hood has always been my favourite English theologian'. Another foreword, from the Bishop of Bath and Wells, says the author's wife is one of Anglicanism's 'first women priests, who has provided much of the inspiration for the BBC's Vicar of Dibley.' Hmmm... gonna have a lot of problems persuading EN readers about this one!
