Book description
Archbishop Rowan Williams is the most gifted Anglican priest of his
generation. His views are consistent and orthodox and yet he has been
consistently misunderstood - especially in relation to his views on
contemporary society, public morality and the common good. In this, the
final published work of his Archepiscopate, Dr Williams has assembled a
series of chapters on matters of immediate public concern and the
relationship of Christianity to these issues. Among his topics are 'Has
Secularism Failed?: Europe, Faith and Culture', 'Human Rights and
Religious Faith', Changing the Myths We Live By', 'Housekeeping: The
Economic Challenge', 'The Gifts Reserved for Age: Perceptions of the
Elderly', and 'Analysing Atheism'. Rowan Williams is Archbishop of
Canterbury. He was formerly Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at
Oxford and Archbishop of Wales.
