Rowan Williams
The Eastern Christian tradition is filled with theological and spiritual riches.
In Passions of the Soul, Rowan Williams opens up the great classics of Eastern Christian writing to show how it can help us to understand and cope with the ups and downs of modern life.
With compelling and illuminating insight, he shows the cost of living in a culture that is theologically and philosophically undernourished, working with a diminished and trivialized picture of the human self. The Eastern tradition teaches us how to develop our self-knowledge and awareness, so that we can relate to the world without selfish illusions. Only then can we be ready for our eyes to be opened to God, and avoid destructive patterns of behaviour.
Only in this way can we understand the kind of people we need to become.

Critic reviews
Williams’s book provides a helpful beginner’s guide to shaping inner emotions in accordance with Christian spirituality and will be helpful for church members and church leaders alike.
In this little book Rowan Williams gives us a tonic for our times.
A fascinating overview or sketch of an ‘angelic’ way of seeing.
Like all good retreat addresses, this book informs and enlightens, guiding readers to deep self-knowledge and discernment.
