Religious Experience: and Other Essays and Addresses

William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, was one of the outstanding Anglican figures 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 impressively illustrates the catholicity of his interests, the breadth of his social thinking and the depth of his religious faith.
