A selection of the writings of the theologian Andrew Walker, displaying the full breadth of his learning and interests over a long and distinguished career.
This ‘miscellany’ puts readers around the table with a teacher who has provided the church with wisdom and passion, allowing us to hear an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between the gospel and culture. Andrew Walker’s ‘ecclesial intelligence’ and broad interdisciplinary approach to theology and sociology will undoubtedly capture the imagination of many who are curious about the church’s mission in the modern West. Notes from a Wayward Son represents a broad sampling of Walker’s writings from a distinguished forty-five-year career – from explorations of Pentecostalism and Charismatic Renewal to Eastern Orthodoxy, C.S. Lewis, and Deep Church; from the impact of modernity on the ecclesia to mission and ecumenism in the West today. In a world and a church often driven by the latest fashions, Walker’s is a voice to which we will want to listen!
Andrew G. Walker is Emeritus Professor of Theology, Religion, and Culture at King’s College, London. Andrew D. Kinsey is senior pastor at Grace United Methodist Church, Franklin, Indiana. He was awarded the Pastor-Preacher-Scholar Award by the Wesleyan Theological Society in 2011.

"The second edition of Notes from a Wayward Son highlights the ground-breaking work of Andrew Walker, bringing together his expertise in sociology and his commitment to orthodox trinitarian theology." Pete Ward, Professor of Practical Theology, Durham University "This wonderful book is a welcome addition to Andrew Walker's remarkable canon of work. Andrew Kinsey is to be commended for sourcing, collating, and now updating an eclectic mix of papers, chapters, articles, and thinkpieces that vividly exhibits Andrew's protean curiosity, intellectual generosity, and wry wit." David Hilborn, Principal, Moorlands College "There are very few scholars who bring together genuine experience and appreciation of the Charismatic movement, Pentecostalism, and Eastern Orthodoxy, along with a sensitivity to the currents running through the wider church across the world. Andrew Walker does this and more in this fascinating collection of pieces touching on his extraordinary wide-raging interests. There is much here to stimulate and to instruct - it is forthright yet sensitive, perceptive yet pastoral." Graham Tomlin, Bishop of Kensington, President of St Mellitus College "there is much food for thought in this great collection of essays." Paul Beasley-Murray, Church Matters, 21 January 2021
