“A wonderful book . . . [Templeton’s] style and material are a very appealing combination of the cerebral and the down-to-earth, full of humor and a seasoning of personal anecdotes.” —Coracle

An anthology of 33 talks, articles, lectures and sermons by one of the most outstanding theologians of her generation. Elizabeth Templeton’s accessible and passionate writing is both refreshing and thought-provoking, exploring ideas that concern us all—life, freedom, forgiveness, death, love, evil, culture and belonging, among many others.

All the pieces dive with apparent effortlessness to the heart of the issues, combining brilliant original scholarship with a warm sensitivity to the difficulties of many people in decoding theology, relating it to their own life and thought.

“[Templeton] was known and appreciated for her freedom of speech and attentiveness to anyone and everything . . . Her interest in the Church’s relationship with the world is what comes out in theses texts.” —Conference of European Churches

“This collection of [Templeton’s] unpublished addresses and writings testifies [that] she brought as much theological acuteness and passion to sermons in local churches as she did to the World Council of Churches Assembly, or the Lambeth Conference . . . Matheson and Hulbert have negotiated their [editorial assignment] sensitively and coherently . . . Readers will find many more valuable nuggets for themselves.” —The Church Times
