Over a period of three years, well-known names from the media, journalism, the arts, politics and the church took part in the Winchester Dialogues, speaking in an open and wide-ranging way about their understanding of faith, its impact on them and its place in the public square.

Now, in response to demand, the conversations are collected together in this volume. Proceeds from its sale will go to the Winchester Cathedral's Capital Appeal.

It includes one of the last addresses given by P D James gave before her death and customary first-class theological reflection from Rowan Williams, widely acknowledged as the world's greatest living theologian.
