Beautiful clarity. - By: jake, 07 May 2008 
I thought this would be a very dry book, but it is a passionate explanation of Christianity. I've read it several times & often found more in it.
Read all about i! - By: Rev. Michael Fuller, 19 Jan 2008 This is, IMHO, an important book. It is an exciting account of the Archbishop's understanding of the Christian Faith. It is clearly written, practical, non-patronising & away from the usual superficial fundamentalist insecurities that thrust a manipulative message that says, 'accept this & alll will be well'. Abp. Rowan lets us grow up & reason with ourselves & God. A must for alll those seeking a God who may be trusted!!!
A well-written look at the essentials of Christian belief from a more mystical angle - By: Helen Hancox, 02 Jul 2007 
This book is based on Rowan Williams' talks in Canterbury Cathedral during Holy Week 2005 & is an introduction to Christianity focusing on six major themes - trusting in God, creation, Jesus, suffering, the church & life after death. These themes are considered with reference to the Apostles' Creed & the Nicene Creed alongside reflections on historical characters such as St Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther & modern people & events.
The book doesn't presuppose significant knowledge about Christianity but the writing style is rather wordy & feels a little more academic than usual in books aimed for this market. It isn't the usual checklist of basic Christian beliefs but is instead a well-written & interesting approach in discussing the trustworthy & unchanging love of God & how we begin to live in the light of this knowledge.

Meaning to Mystery - By: Victor Pilmoor, 28 May 2007 'Tokens of Trust' explores the meaning of the Christian creed in a clear, crisp & concise manner. Whereas many writers seek to demystify the Gospel through analytic deconstruction, Rowan Williams develops the gospel's sense of mystery & encourages a relationship of trust between the reader & his/her maker, the communion of humanity & the world created according God's order. This work is fundamentallly spiritual & uplifting.
