In this episode of The Essential Anglican Podcast, Chandler Wiley and Shane Copeland reflect on Anglicanism as a “word tradition”—shaped by Scripture, liturgy, and the written theology of the Church. Beginning with personal reading journeys (from John Stott, J. I. Packer, and C. S. Lewis), the conversation moves into the books and authors that have most deeply formed a reformational Anglican vision. Along the way, they recommend essential readings for those wanting to understand Anglican identity, including the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and key figures such as Thomas Cranmer, John Jewel, Richard Hooker, J. C. Ryle, and later evangelical Anglicans. This episode offers a guided reading list—both devotional and doctrinal—for pastors, students, and laypeople who want to grow in their understanding of Anglican theology, worship, and the Reformation heritage that continues to shape the Church today.
