The Education of David Martin: The Making Of An Unlikely Sociologist

David Martin's vivid, elegant and absorbing prose offers surprising and often moving insights into his life, times and intellectual development. As Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the LSE he gives a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the protests during the 1960s and 1970s. He also recounts the ups and downs of his leading role in championing the King James Bible and the Prayer Book in the 1980's.

It will be a must read for the many people, both within and without the church, who have been influenced by his seminal writings.
