Christ the Stranger: The Theology of Rowan Williams

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.
