| Summary |
"Elizabeth Templeton was one of the most outstanding theologians of her generation. As an extraordinarily articulate and passionate communicator, her writing, always refreshing and thought-provoking, explores ideas that concern us all - life, freedom, forgiveness, death, love, evil, culture and belonging, amongst many others. This book gathers the very best of her work in one volume which, together with introductions from a number of eminent religious commentators, demonstrates the remarkable range and diversity of her theology."--Back cover. |
