Dr Jane Williams, wife of the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan
Williams, will visit Sarum College, where Bishop Declan is a Trustee,
on Monday 6 November. She will be launching her latest book, entitled
Angels.
In this beautifully illustrated book, acclaimed author Jane Williams
explores the world of angels in Scripture and what we can learn from
them today. The Bible, she argues, describes a universe in which we are
not the only created beings. There are other creatures who are not
human, not animal and not God: Angels are one of those orders of being.
Dr Williams is a freelance writer who contributes regularly to the
Church Times. A trained theologian, she has taught Doctrine and History
at Trinity Theological College, Bristol. Her other books include
Approaching Christmas and Approaching Easter . She is married to Dr
Rowan Williams and they have two children.
The launch event will be at 5.30 pm on Monday 6 November, followed by a
lecture at 7.30 pm. Tickets are available from Sarum College Bookshop
on 01722 326899 or email
bookshop@sarum.ac.uk
