Public life and the place of the Church : reflections to honour the bishop of Oxford
The work of Richard Harries, Bishop of Oxford from 1987 to 2006, has been highly distinctive for the consistency of its engagement with contemporary society. This book reflects on Richard Harries' ministry on the 'borderlands' of society and Church, and engages with the nature of modern society and the place of the Church within it.
