Being Christian

Peter Hancock reflects on the words of Rowan Williams

Rowan Williams, in his book Being Christian, has some thought processes and ways of articulating his religion that are alien to someone with my scientific background. I found it, however, a fascinating and sometimes amusing work that contains a clever juggling with ideas.

In my teens I was a born-again Christian in the Baptist church. So, I understand the ‘myths and axioms’. I hope I can deconstruct Rowan Williams’ unique theological take on the Christian story. He seems quite fundamentalist and not as Anglican as I might have expected.
