Description
The Edge of Words: God and the Habits of Language
Rowan Williams' first book since standing down as Archbishop of Canterbury, this thought-provoking work explores the possibilities of speaking about God, drawing on the project of natural theology. Williams engages with a range of thinkers, from Augustine to Simone Weil, to examine the potential of language in describing the divine.
A compelling essay that delves into the complexities of language and its relationship with the divine, The Edge of Words is a scholarly yet accessible account that invites readers to consider the limits and possibilities of human expression.
