Recenzii
Timely, wise, humane, positive - just what is needed to focus the national debate on shared values and creating a better future, particularly for the half of the country left behind by 'modernisation' and 'globalisation.'
Justin Welby's voice is powerful and distinctive. He writes with verve and insight. Reimagining Britain is a work of supreme timeliness.
A brave, passionate and provocative case for community, courage and stability, not simply as concepts for debate but as foundations for practical change - for ourselves, for each other and for those we will never meet.
With an astonishing range of understanding and a perspective both global and granular, Justin Welby identifies values that are true to our heritage and fertile for our hope ... Archbishop Ramsey once told priests to be 'with God with the people on your heart'; here Archbishop Welby is with God with the nation on his heart, and the result is rigour and compassion in equal measure.
...this call to a strong sense of national narrative, collective responsibility and a shared moral code is both powerful and timely.
This is a book bristling with energy and ideas. Written against a wide canvas of historical narrative and critique, it is a fast-moving appeal for the fashioning of deeper virtue, expressed in action, in the form of a shared narrative of our identity and purpose.
This courageous and perceptive call to mobilise for the common good of Britain comes at a crucial time. No other leader has offered such a powerful combination of realism, depth and practical priorities.
Bigger than politics and broader than religion - a timely and inspiring read that requires response
An important contribution to understanding how the UK can not only move forward but flourish by reimagining its narrative of hope.
The archbishop of Canterbury's blueprint for a revitalised nation draws on values that cross religious and secular divides . Welby's book lifts our doleful eyes above the morass of Brexit to state some crucial truths.
[A] beautifully written and accessible account of Britain in a post-Brexit world, which starts from a point of hope, openness and generosity of spirit as well as a belief in the power of politicians to create the conditions for a self-confident and outward-looking country.
This is a bold, visionary book which deserves to be widely read
