About this book
In this engaging volume of theological and philosophical essays and anecdotes, British writer A. C. Benson relates the views of his longtime mentor, an Anglican lay clergyman that he refers to as Father Payne. Although it's not exactly clear where Payne's opinions leave off and Benson's begin, there is definitely a great deal of thought-provoking insight to be gleaned from this collection.
