An exploration of the nature of human consciousness and personhood by one of the world's greatest theologians.

What is consciousness? Is the mind a machine? What makes us persons? What does it mean to aspire to human maturity?

These are among the fundamental questions that Rowan Williams helps us to think about in this deeply engaging exploration of what it means to be human.

The book ends with a brief but profound meditation on the person of Christ, inviting us to consider how, through him, 'our humanity in all its variety, in all its vulnerability, has been taken into the heart of the divine life'.

Rowan Williams is Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. His most recent books include God With Us (2017), Being Disciples (2016), What is Christianity? (2015), Meeting God in Paul (2015), Meeting God in Mark (2014) and Being Christian (2014) all published by SPCK.
