This is a brilliant biography. It is obvious that Shortt has some background in religion and theology, and he writes exceptionally well. To my mind the treatment of Rowan is smart, intelligent, and the author pulls no punches. Worth reading by all means!
This is a wonderful, fair-minded, thoroughly researched, and beautifully written biography of Archbishop Rowan Williams. I recommend it highly.
A detailed look at Rowan Williams's life, from his parents' background until 2009 (a couple years before he retired from the Archbishop's seat).I learned a lot from this book, not only about Williams but about the Anglican church, and to some degree British culture in general (In fact, the author's assumptions about his British audience were quite revealing for this rural-grown American not so used to the implicit value judgments of British academia.)The author is obviously sympathetic, and I liked the Archbishop a lot after reading this book. In fact, even in the areas in which the author is critical, the criticism is ignorantly made (especially concerning economics and pacifism), so I even ended up likely how Williams come out in those areas as well. The personal insight into Williams is great, though the heavy focus on his poetry could have been supplemented by a little more attention on his theological writings.Only 3 stars because the author is rude, condescendingly attacking, and simplistic/ignorant whenever he brings up Rowan's critiques of capitalism and military violence. The book was written before Rowan's “rule†as Archbishop had come to a close, so we also miss some interesting potential material from the end, not to mention the ability to reflect on what has happened since he left.
This has been an important time in my life to read “Rowan’s Rule,†Rupert Shortt’s brilliant biography of Rowan Williams. At the end of this week, I will begin duties as the Conference Minister of the Penn West Conference of the United Church of Christ. This book was given to me by a dear friend who considered the insights in it to be valuable to what he anticipates my ministry will be. Indeed, the magnifying glass I will be under will be far less intense than that faced by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, but I imagine that on that lesser scale there will still be points of congruity. I was intrigued by both the challenges that Williams faced and his responses to them, and in some ways, it served as a cautionary tale for me. The book did not shy away from what some would describe as either “limitations†or downright “failures†of one of the greatest Christian leaders of our time. It is sobering for me to consider Williams’ weaknesses in light of my own, and I am grateful to Rupert Shortt for providing this well-written window into the Archbishop’s world. Even more, I am grateful to Rowan Williams, whose willingness to cooperate with such a candid and revealing biography not only speaks volumes about the depth of his character but serves as a great source of pastoral encouragement to someone like me.
I enjoyed this biography very much. The author clearly admires his subject and shares many of his views so there is some loss of objectivity. Nonetheless, he can be critical of the Archbishop although he's often tougher on the opposition (within and outside the church). The book is a good read but for one small quibble. The author is a bit too enamored (for my taste) with William's poetry and other writings. Some of it is useful but he over uses the device. As a character study though, one can't help but be impressed by this widely acclaimed theologian and "Renaissance man" who has never-the-less failed to meet the sky high expectations generated by his selection. Even those that don't subscribe to the "great man" school of history will enjoy this fine book and be left pondering the questions it raises.
Rare but not unprecedented, a biography of an Anglican Archbishop seldom contends with the sheer volume of primary and secondary texts about its subject as Rupert Shortt must address in this book. Bringing adroit insights to his task, Shortt tells a fair account not only of Williams, but also of the life and times of Anglican Christians served by him from Lambeth Palace. His subject is the life of the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Lord Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. Presiding bishop for 80 million Anglicans worldwide, Williams serves primus inter pares among fellow bishops of the global Anglican Communion.First among Anglican bishops by rank--attributed to the ancient titular See of Canterbury--intensifies attention to Williams's biographic stout and froth. Shortt provides more stout than froth, and limits affectations with a steady hand. Exploring critical decisions that Williams made from the time of his mid-twenties [66, 72-4], Shortt discloses details from his mentor's developmental years, which tarnished halo's that admirers had projected onto the young Rowan long before his initial episcopacy in Monmouth (1991 at age 41).Just the same, Williams had earned respect from fellow Anglicans such as a talented "orthodox" philosopher-theologian from Cambridge University--Professor Donald MacKinnon [62-3, 128-9], and Fr. Henry Chadwick [121-2], Dean of Christ Church Cathedral Oxford. In addition, respect came early in his career from Orthodox theologians such as Father Andrew Louth of Durham [122] and Christos Yannaras of Athens and Thessaloniki [70-1].Whether blamed or praised, at least Williams "...has not endured public disgrace and imprisonment" [425] while shepherding his Anglican herd of mavericks. However, he may well never become the darling of the left or the right. Why is this? Shorrt intimates at least a few reasons, such as the Archbishop's eclectic theological and pastoral interests as impossible to pin to ideologies [100; cf. Sharia controversy: 390-402] and poetic imagination [355 passim] as exemplified in these lines from "Kampala; the el Shaddai Coffee Bar:" Eyes shine and water in the woodsmoke; who can tell who might be welcome here? [230]In my opinion, some book reviewers of this 466 pp. text and Shortt's earlier [2002: 101] abbreviated introduction to Williams have created a tempest over the Archbishop's youthful romances--particularly reviewers in British, Welsh and Irish presses. They have either promoted calumny about imagined or exaggerated dalliances, or have failed to exercise critical reading skills to differentiate hubris from humility in Shortt's portrayal of Williams. Either way would create images of Williams that lack reference to this text.If a particular verdict holds true in subsequent analyses of Williams's term in Canterbury that "dynamic hopes" were "deflated" by his service record as Archbishop [2], they might require as much appraisal of the dynamic hopes themselves as of the man. Himself a brilliant Oxford don and polyglot, Williams ventured into pastoral ministry with heroic dreams, but required more than intellectual accomplishments to purify his heart. One such example of Williams--a humbled heroic dreamer-- reveals how Williams had recovered through poetry after a one-sided romance sometime during his term as lecturer-in-residence at the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield (Resurrection College, West Yorkshire, U.K.) [95-7].Recovery from disappointment appears as a sub-theme throughout the biography. One such recovery was his marriage to a daughter of an Anglican bishop, Hilary Jane (nee) Paul in 1981 [107, 114-5], after having been awarded the D.Phil. in theology from Oxford in 1975, followed by diaconal ordination in the Church of England in 1977 [priesthood 1978]. Shortt entertains the theme of Williams's recoveries as evidence of his desire to pay the cost of Christian discipleship by denouncing his own "...self-delusion and many wrong turns" [71]. Indeed, Williams has been shown in this biography to be held accountable for his gifts from God.Shortt quotes the Rt. Rev. Richard the Baron Harries of Pentregarth, Bishop of Oxford (ret.), who once said to Williams: "God has given you all the gifts, and as your punishment, he has made you Archbishop of Canterbury" [20]. Even humor packs a punch; the cost of following Christ is high for every Christian. "When someone is given a great deal, a great deal will be demanded of that person; when someone is entrusted with a great deal, of that person even more will be expected" [Luke 12:48, NJB].
