Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian. . . . When I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for. -- Mark Oakley in Church Times
Rowan Williams explains the basis for Christian belief, a task made highly complex because of all the differences and doctrinal nuances held dear within the wider Christian family. He succeeds admirably because, behind his careful explanations, his knowledge is so comprehensive; and faith in Christ is thus wonderfully clarified. -- The Reader
Rowan Williams writes with a gentle strength that witnesses to the joy to be found in being disciples of Jesus. -- Kate Bottley
One of today's most brilliant and profound thinkers. -- Jonathan Sacks
