Author and scholar Charles Williams (1886-1945) joined, in 1908, the staff of the Oxford University Press, the publishing house in which he worked for the rest of his life. Throughout these years, poetry, novels, plays, biographies, history, literary criticism, and theology poured from his pen. At the beginning of the Second World War the publishing house was evacuated to Oxford where, in addition to his own writing and his editorial work for the Press, he taught in the University. Charles Hefling has been editor-in-chief of the Anglican Theological Review, and served as the academic editor of the Oxford Guide to the Book of Common Prayer. He taught systematic theology for thirty years as a professor at Boston College, and is now an instructor in the Diaconal Formation Program of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts and an adjunct member of the faculty at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge.
