Looking East in Winter: Contemporary Thought and the Eastern Christian Tradition by Rowan Williams (published by Bloomsbury Continuum 2021: £20).
In Saint John’s Gospel ( Chapter 17) Christ prays that his Apostles and the Church ‘may be one, as we are one.’ It was the constant prayer of Pope John Paul 11, a successor to Saint Paul, that the Church, East and West, would breathe with both lungs. In this volume Rowan Williams demonstrates with erudition and insight how Eastern Christian thought can lead to the unity of the Churches.
