Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian ... As usual, when I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for.

He succeeds admirably because, behind his careful explanations, his knowledge is so comprehensive; and faith in Christ is thus wonderfully clarified.
