Evangelical by origin, catholic by formation, and liberal by instinct, Ramsey learned from many traditions and, as Archbishop of Canterbury, moved ecumenical dialogue into a new and decisive phase. A remarkable spiritual leader, he continues to be remembered as both reverent and visionary. Glory Descending serves both as an introduction to Ramsey's life and as a reader of his key writings. The introductory chapter gives an overview of Ramsey's career and explains why he was such a significant figure in recent church history. The large selection of Ramsey's writings that follows makes readily accessible the essence of his thought. Drawn from all of his works, these powerful passages constitute an exceptionally consistent body of spiritual theology and teaching. Here we have not just a voice from the past but a prophetic call to holiness and faith in our own times. Also included are reflections by leading churchmen and scholars on Ramsey's continuing influence. Four pieces by Rowan Williams probe distinctive themes in Ramsey's thought. John Habgood and Geoffrey Rowell offer lectures prepared for the centenary of Ramsey's birth. Douglas Dales explores the contours of Ramsey's spiritual theology. Finally, the book has been designed as a companion to the Christian liturgical year, making it an invaluable aid to preaching, teaching, and devotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Dales \u003c\/b\u003eis Chaplain and Head of Religious Studies at Marlborough College, England, and the author of \u003ci\u003eGlory: The Spiritual Theology of Michael Ramsey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Habgood \u003c\/b\u003eis the former Archbishop of York, England, and the author of \u003ci\u003eBeing a Person: Where Faith and Science Meet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeoffrey Rowell \u003c\/b\u003eis Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Vision Glorious: Themes and Personalities of the Catholic Revival in Anglicanism \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe English Religious Tradition and the Genius of Anglicanism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eRowan Williams \u003c\/b\u003eis the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury and the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eChrist on Trial: How the Gospel Unsettles Our Judgement, The Truce of God, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWhy Study the Past?
