Summary: This book contains critical commentary on contemporary issues by Rowan Williams, in his final book as Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishop Rowan Williams is the most gifted Anglican priest of his generation. His views are consistent and orthodox and yet he has been consistently misunderstood - especially in relation to his views on contemporary society, public morality and the common good. In this, the final published work of his Archiepiscopate, Dr. Williams has assembled a series of chapters on matters of immediate public concern and the relationship of Christianity to these issues.
