We all want to be happy and fulfilled.

Many advise we’ll achieve this by ‘being ourselves’.

But when we actually begin to reflect on this notion of the Self, it opens up all sorts of questions – and all sorts of counter-cultural ideas . . .

This provocative book dares us to let go of any preconceived notions we may have about life. It invites us to embrace a world we may scarcely have encountered before. Vividly drawing on contemporary events, current research and timeless truths, it reveals how Christianity can make sense of our experience of wonder, love, evil, justice, freedom, identity and community in a remarkably coherent way.

Among his publications are Looking Beyond Brexit, The Widening Circle, Looking through the Cross: The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent book 2014 and The Provocative Church.
