This short introduction to the theology of Rowan Williams explains and illustrates in very clear terms the main distinctive features of his thought: his analysis of the nature of the Gospel message of acceptance and judgment; his understanding of the nature of the God who calls us in Jesus Christ to a life of learning; his appreciation of the history of the church's argumentative exploration of this Gospel; and his thoughts about how all this shapes our understanding of political life, of peace, and of sexual relationships.
Along the way, Higton raises critical questions about what developments might be needed if this theology is to provide a resource for the Anglican Communion and beyond in the coming years.
An accessible guide for anybody interested in understanding more about Rowan Williams' much-praised theology, the book will also be a useful companion text for students of modern and contemporary theology and of interest to the generalist wishing to know more about academic theology and its relevance today.
Includes an annotated guide to further reading.
Mike Higton is an Anglican theologian who has been a research fellow in the University of Cambridge and a consultant at the 1998 Lambeth Conference, and now lectures in theology at the University of Exeter.
