Rowan Williams, Baron Williams of Oystermouth, PC, FBA, FRSL, FLSW, is a world renowned theological writer, teacher, and poet. He was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury (2002–2012) before becoming Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge (2012-2020).

Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian ... As usual, when I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for.
