Excellent review of Rowan Williams' 'On Augustine' by A.N. Wilson in The New Statesman

Readers of this blog might be interested in a new publication from Bloomsbury's trade division. It's a masterful volume on Augustine by Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. Don't just take our word for it, A.N. Wilson thinks it's great too:

“This is a book that I have been waiting all my adult life to read - though I did not realise it ... Again and again, I put this book down and wished that it were compulsory reading for all those who, in our public forum, think that they are engaging in intelligible conversations when they are merely mouthing sounds.” –  A N Wilson, New Statesman
