Embracing Justice by The Revd Isabelle Hamley
Embracing Justice, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book for 2022 asks: What might a spirituality shaped by biblical portrayals of justice look like for the church of the 21st century?

I commend it very warmly indeed. -- Bishop James Newcome on ‘The Bible and Mental Health’ edited by Isabelle Hamley and Christopher C H Cook
