William Temple was one of the towering figures in the Church of England in the twentieth century. He was a philosopher, theologian, social reformer, bishop and archbishop. As Archbishop of Canterbury he guided a nation at war and helped pave the way of the new post-war society, coining the term âe~the welfare stateâe(tm) and building support in the Church of England for radical social reforms. This comprehensive volume draws on Templeâe(tm)s extensive publications, broadcasts, public speeches, sermons and private letters and reflects the broad range of his concerns: âe¢ The case for Christian belief âe¢ The interface of theology and philosophy âe¢ Spiritual formation of the faithful âe¢ Christian social principles and political thought âe¢ Guiding a nation at war and envisaging a new society Prefaced by an extensive introduction to Templeâe(tm)s life and times and an overview of the key aspects of his legacy, Stephen Spencer provides students with an authoritative guide to one of Anglicanismâe(tm)s most influential figures.
