Taking a considered approach to the most foundational facets of Christianity, Rowan Williams opens up Christ's Death and Life in a thoughtful book.
Rowan Williams, Baron Williams of Oystermouth, PC, FBA, FRSL, FLSW, is a world renowned theological writer, teacher, and poet. He was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury (2002–2012) before becoming Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge (2012-2020). His most recent books include A Century of Poetry (2022), Collected Poems (2021), Luminaries (2019), Being Human (2018), God With Us (2017), Being Disciples (2016) and Being Christian (2014).
There is a dignity inherent in Rowan Williams’ writing that both
challenges and ennobles those who read it . . . We are asked to
consider in this book nothing less than the fundamental meaning of
life itself.

book, I found myself drawn afresh to the vision of "perfect
humanity" made manifest in Jesus Christ.

a doctrinal blank slate on the one hand and counteracting the
effects of long familiarity on the other
