Publisher Description
This major new edition of Rupert Shortt's acclaimed biography of Rowan Williams provides fresh insight into the life and thought of perhaps the most gifted Christian leader of our time. Unburdened by national office, the former Archbishop has spoken more candidly than ever about the multiple conflicts - over gay clergy, women bishops and the place of faith in the public square - that rocked the Anglican Church and wider society during his decade at the helm.
Customer Reviews
A sympathetic, generous but honest portrait
This biography of Archbishop Rowan Williams chiefly demonstrates that he is the right bishop for the horrendous job of being Archbishop of Canterbury right now.
You won't get to know Williams, but you'll find out plenty about him, some of which will reinforce your existing beliefs, some of which will invite you to reflect deeper.
Williams will, in the future, probably be reckoned a saint. This is but the first account of that life.
