Lost icons Book

What a terrific surprise! Not at all the finger-wagging conservative nostalgia the title might indicate, "Lost Icons" turns out to be an extremely astute treatise on what Williams calls "the self," what other theologians might call "the soul," and what most of what I've been reading recently (Zizek) calls "the subject." Totally not the kind of philosophy you expect to hear from an archbishop - he doesn't even invoke the words "God" or "Christian" until the final chapter (much in the same way Zizek's "Puppet and the Dwarf" holds off on mentioning atheism until the end). And I'm equally eager for Williams to fess up to his Marxism as I am for Zizek to declare his Christianity. This is a difficult, difficult read, and I recommend it to anyone.
