The first occupant of Lambeth Palace is several generations with an international reputation as a theologian, he is nevertheless often considered a difficult writer, more admired than read and understood. Many people remain puzzled by how his social radicalism can coexist with a reputation for orthodoxy in doctrine.
Rowan Williams: An Introduction is the first thorough account of the Archbishop's career and evolution as a thinker. A long biographical chapter is followed by three further sections on key aspects of Williams's theology, spirituality and politics.
The result is a sympathetic but not uncritical profile of a leader with unmatched talents for enhancing dialogue between Christianity and secular culture.

Rupert Shortt, a former pupil of Rowan Williams, studied theology at the Universities of Oxford and London. He is now Religion Editor of the Times Literary Supplement.
It can just sketch the outline of its subject's career but it does so with immense confidence and authority. -- The Telegraph (of London) on 4/8/03 by Damian Thompson: The Telegraph (of London) on 4/8/03 by Damian Thompson: The Telegraph (of London) on 4/8/03 by Damian Thompson: The Telegraph of London, April 3, 2003 by Damian Thompson
Short is meticulous in his reflective, critical appreciations. This book is a delightful, informative read. -- The Times of London, June 18, 2003 by James Bell
