Since his retirement as Archbishop of Canterbury and his return to academic life (Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge) Rowan Williams has demonstrated a massive new surge of intellectual energy. In this book he turns his attention to St Augustine. St Augustine not only shaped the development of Western theology, he also made a major contribution to political theory ( City of God ) and through his Confessions to the understanding of human psychology. Rowan Williams has an entirely fresh perspective on these matters and the chapter titles in this book demonstrate this at a glance - 'Language Reality and Desire', 'Politics and the Soul', 'Paradoxes of Self Knowledge', and 'Insubstantial Evil'.
