Rezensionen
"I believe Rowan Williams is one of the most creative and profoundtheologians writing in the latter half of the twentieth century.There is extraordinary significance to bringing together many ofthese essays into one book which makes them available to a widerpublic." L. Gregory Jones, Duke University

"A sustained and remarkably coherent essay on the daunting taskof doing theology today. They again show him to be a theologian ofimmense erudition and maturity, and, perhaps more importantly, offine sensitivity to the subterfuges of human frailty."TimesLiterary Supplement

"It is certainly a thought-provoking book; and if it gets peoplethinking honestly and deeply about the problems it discusses, thenI am sure its author will be satisfied." Church Times

"Few contemporary theologians could offer such an exhilarating,authoritative and properly demanding exploration of what it meansto do Christian theology. A companion volume on Christian ethicswould be more than welcome." Nicholas Sagovsky, University ofNewcastle.

"Rowan Williams speaks out of a fund of learning and pastoralexperience which has made him arguably the most distinguishedtheologian in the English-speaking world. In Williams' hands thelanguage of finality and universal significance gains unexpectedenergy." The Way.

"[On Christian Theology] exhibits a distinctive theologicalposture...having remarkable and deep internal coherence. His termsof engagement do not so much incite challenge and response asprovoke fresh and more supple thinking of one's own. And thatprovocation is accompanied by the intense esthetic satisfaction ofbeing drawn into the intellectual dance of so nimble and inventivea theological sensibility." David H. Kelsey, Yale DivinitySchool.

"The range of these essays, the importance of the subjects theytreat, and, of course, Williams's erudition all mean that theseessays will need to be taken seriously. A wide range of readerswill owe Williams a debt of gratitude for the scatter ofcharacteristically brilliant insights in these essays." TheHeythrop Journal

"All in all, this is a valuable and stumulating book - one towhich the reader will want to return." Studies in WorldChristianity…mehr
