Rowan Williams's Christ the Heart of Creation

[Article]

Paul Dafydd Jones

Leiden

Brill

This article engages Rowan Williams's Christ the Heart of Creation. Its first section is interpretative. It reads Williams's book as commending a noncompetitive account of divine and creaturely activity, a strong version of divine aseity, and an expansive ecclesiological-ethical vision. A second section lauds the breadth of Williams's perspective and his commitment to public intellectual witness. A third section focuses on critique. It draws on Barth in order to advocate a more capacious approach to theological ontology than Williams allows; and it draws on liberationist insights to lend Williams's christological program a sharper political edge.
