Rowan Williams is world-renowned as a theologian and writer and for his wisdom, grace and spiritual insight. He spent much of his earlier career as an academic at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford successively. He was Archbishop of Wales before becoming Archbishop of Canterbury 2002-2012. He was then Master of Magdalene College Cambridge, and Chair of Christian Aid. He has been a fellow of the British Academy since 1990 and has published many books including studies of Arius, Teresa of Avila, Sergei Bulgakov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, together with writings and lectures on a wide range of theological, historical and political themes. He continues to lecture, write and speak widely and his thinking and example is an inspirational expression of faith for our times. His latest books are The Way of St. Benedict (2020), A Century of Poetry – 100 Poems for Searching the Heart (2022), and Passions of the Soul (2024) which he says is about ‘Learning how to live in heaven by learning how to live on earth, in the body, in the moment.’
