Christianity and Social Order by William Temple
William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1942 until his death in 1944, is by common consent among the greatest holders of that office and one of the most remarkable Englishmen of this century. This book gives expression to views which Temple held, in general, for most of his working life.
"A key piece of writing in Christianity this century, no book has yet replaced it" --Professor Ronald Preston "Its arguments are just as relevant today; we can only regret that we have made so little progress in the directions Temple prophetically indicated." --Third Way
The enduring appeal of Temple is that while he clearly looks to principle for guidance, he is no Utopian and sagely remarks that 'the art of government in fact is the art of so ordering life that self-interest prompts what justice demands.' During his lifetime he became a household name for the radical but constructive way in which he challenged the established orders, including the Church. His work earned him the title 'the People's Archbishop'.
