Abstract

This study examines the relationship between spirituality and the theological endeavour in light of the work of Rowan Williams, the 104 th Archbishop of Canterbury. It traces the history of the relationship, which by the modern era was one of disconnection, and it considers the implications of contemporary culture, and especially the effects of postmodernist thought on the situation. The central thesis contends that Rowan Williams, in his work as theologian, is especially skilled in the task of bringing spirituality and theology into renewed dialogue, and both into conversation with postmodernity.
