About this listen

'Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian... When I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for.'
Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark Cathedral, London

Internationally acclaimed theologian Rowan Williams invites you to explore with him the vital questions that go right to the heart of Christianity:

How does Jesus reveal God?
Who or what is the Holy Spirit?
Why do Christians treasure the Bible?
What's the point of theology?

Rowan Williams' guide to the essentials of the faith will get you thinking about God in fresh and exciting ways. It will help you to grasp the way in which the best Christian theology is arrived at through the creative interplay of scripture, tradition and reason. And it will help you develop a broader and deeper appreciation of the positive difference Christianity continues to make in the world today.

Brief, engaging and profoundly simple, this book takes you to the heart of what Christianity is all about, offering food for thought for a lifetime.

Critic reviews

'Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian. . . . When I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for.' (Mark Oakley in Church Times)
'Rowan Williams explains the basis for Christian belief, a task made highly complex because of all the differences and doctrinal nuances held dear within the wider Christian family. He succeeds admirably because, behind his careful explanations, his knowledge is so comprehensive; and faith in Christ is thus wonderfully clarified.' (The Reader)
'Rowan Williams writes with a gentle strength that witnesses to the joy to be found in being disciples of Jesus.' (Kate Bottley)

I’ve been swimming around in trying to understand Christianity recently and seeing what is really on offer in that world view, this is after years of writing it off as out of date and useless. This book offers an amazing insight into the possibilities that Christian faith could represent if approached with humility and that in fact it is far from out of date or useless.
