Description

In God Is Not a Christian, the archbishop’s biographer, John Allen, has assembled the best examples of Tutu’s voice as it has shown a light in the darkness. Through speeches, letters, and interviews, we glimpse how his moral vision confronts the dark world around him. Here we read the best of Tutu as he explores topics such as reconciliation after the atrocities of apartheid and later Rwanda, how we can celebrate differences and welcome a variety of voices to the table—whether it is black theology, the inclusion of gays and lesbians, or the plight of Palestinians. God is Not a Christian is an intimate, provocative exploration into how one man’s faith is bringing healing and reconciliation to the world.
