Description
Rowan Williams explores the Eastern Christian tradition as a source of fresh light and warmth in these wintry times. Drawing on the world of the Philokalia and the explorations of Russian thinkers, he introduces readers to the rich diversity of this Christian world.
This book offers an original and illuminating vision of a Christian world that can prompt new perspectives on our contemporary crises of imagination and hope. Williams examines the witness of figures like Maria Skobtsova and the challenging theologies of modern Greek thinkers, such as John Zizioulas and Christos Yannaras.
By opening up this 'climate and landscape of our humanity', Rowan Williams invites readers to consider new ways of thinking about spirit and body, prayer and action, worship and social transformation. A thought-provoking exploration of the Eastern Christian tradition that can enrich our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
