He has taught at various institutions around the world, including Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Cambridge and Seattle, is also the foundation editor of the Journal of Anglican Studies.
"The great value of Kaye’s book is a detailed account of English Christendom, with acute theological reflection on the case studies. It is wonderful to have such a thoughtful account, especially when extended to Australia and the United States [...] This is an outstanding survey from one of the leading theologians in the Anglican Communion."
