Grace and Necessity: Reflections on Art & Love
by Rowan Williams
$22.95 Hardcover

In Grace and Necessity, Rowan Williams, the present archbishop of Canterbury, explores a theme that he says has long intrigued him: the connection between the arts and Christian thought. The nature of art, the role of the artist and the being of God are some of the topics explored by Williams. He examines the relationships between art and morality, artists and their work, and the ways in which art approaches the self-giving nature of God. Though the material is often complex, this book is written with easily understood clarity.
