Rowan Williams is a complex, creative and versatile
thinker. Not only a theologian and church leader, he is also a poet, a
translator, a literary critic, a social theorist and historian. His imaginative
vision brings together the streams of modern literature, patristic theology,
Russian orthodoxy, German philosophy and Welsh piety. In this lucid and elegant
guide, Benjamin Myers explores Williams' thought from the 1960s to the present.
He shows that Williams has developed an immensely resourceful - and
distinctively Christian - response to some of the major social, moral and
intellectual challenges of our time.
