The Descent of the Dove brings the most significant of Charles Williams's theological writings to the modern reader. Tracing the history of the church through the activity of the Holy Spirit, this unconventional and imaginative historical study offers a fresh and accessible perspective on spirituality in the church. By studying the crisis points of theological conflict, Williams remains convinced that theological tensions are not only reconcilable, but indispensable for the church.
Willams's work offers the reader a unique analysis of church history by illuminating the crucial role of spirituality in church life, providing salient insights for those interested in the development of the church.
Charles Williams (1886-1945) was an influential theologian, poet and author, and a member of the famous literary group 'the Inklings' alongside C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien. He also lectured on literature in Oxford, tutoring at St. Hilda's College until 1945, and was an Editor at Oxford University Press.
