Rowan Williams considers the Eastern tradition of Christianity and the lessons it may have to offer for the Western church and society.
Rowan Williams is the former Archbishop of Canterbury and was the Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, a position from which he retired in 2020. He was also Lady Margaret Professor at Oxford. Williams is a contributing writer for the New Statesman and the author of dozens of books including On Augustine, The Way of St Benedict, Holy Living and The Edge of Words.
The language is precise and exact, yet also evocative and
elegant.
*Church Times*
An austere read, reflecting a lifetime’s intellectual engagement
with Orthodoxy. It is at the same time full of warmth. Williams'
account of holy folly is wonderful.
*The Tablet*
There is no theological writer in English whose prose is more
lucid, more crystalline, more careful, than Lord Williams of
Oystermouth, known more widely as Rowan Williams, Archbishop of
Canterbury from 2002 to 2012 ... Looking East in Winter is a
brilliant exploration of modern Orthodox theology ... Archbishop
Rowan has completed another remarkable book, the reading of which
is itself a meditative and nourishing experience.
