Reviews

‘This is a remarkable analysis of the problems confronting modern society. Out of this analysis emerges a plea for the recovery of ways of understanding  what it means to be human and indeed of becoming members  of human society as we have hitherto known it, which is i n danger of being utterly lost to view.’
IRISH THEOLOGICAL QUARTERLY

‘There is nothing remotely sentimental  in these clear-sighted, closely argued pages, in which Archbishop Williams pleads, with wisdom, compassion and cool articulate anger, for the recovery of the habits of self-understanding in grave danger of becoming unavailable: for childhood, friendship and remorse, as aspects of identity fashioned and discovered over time.’
