Despite the title, this book is not really aiming to guess who the next Archbishop of Canterbury will be. It has some concluding chapters on the possible candidates, but is designed more as a popular introduction to the CofE and its most senior position.
For those ignorant of the Anglican churches and their history, there is undoubtedly useful information here, but the superficiality of its analysis of the current position means that there is little reason for evangelicals to read it. There is no attempt to look at church leadership from a biblical point of view.
