Rowan Williams
Rupert ShorttPaperback 2003-09-01
Publisher Description
The first occupant of Lambeth in several generations with an international reputation as a theologian, Williams is often considered a difficult writer, more admired than read and understood. Many people remain puzzled by how his social radicalism can coexist with a reputation for orthodoxy in doctrine. "Rowan Williams: An Introduction is the first thorough account of the Archbishop's career and evolution as a thinker. A long biographical chapter is followed by three sections on key aspects of Williams's theology, spirituality, and politics. The result is a sympathetic but not uncritical profile of a leader with unmatched talents for enhancing dialogue between Christianity and secular culture.
