This book is a collection of lectures and articles written for very different audiences, from a Roman Catholic Synod of Bishops to the Royal Academy of Arts. As one would expect from our foremost contemporary British theologian, it is a treasure trove of scintillating insights into a wide variety of subjects ranging from how to read the Bible, what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and the rule of St Benedict to the theology of icons. Every article is the fruit of a life of prayer and an incomparable knowledge of the Christian tradition.
