Religious Experience : and Other Essays and Addresses

A collection of twenty-two of essays and addresses by the great 20th-century Anglican Archbishop. William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, was the outstanding Anglican figure of the twentieth century. His honesty, wide interests, immense humanity, sense of fun, and utter lack of pomposity won him the respect of thousands of men and women who never darkened the doors of a church, while his intellect and seriousness of purpose impressed the clergy and his peers. This volume brings together twenty-two of Temple's essays and addresses covering the whole span of his adult life, and illustrating in an impressive way both the catholicity of his interests, the breadth of his social thinking and the depth of his religious faith.
