Series of interviews primarily with English bishops of the Anglican and Catholic churches on "the issues of our time, from women priests to Thatcherism, from test-tube babies to Northern Ireland". -- Front dust jacket blurb.
"Believe it or not, indeed believe them or not, busy bishops have devoted hours to being interviewed by us. ... First of all the bishops agreed that there was a need for such a book. They were unaware of any similar attempt to to analyse their role. Second, we were conscious that the popular media and even serious social and political commentators fail to understand the role of religion in our lives. ....We hope that this book offers a fresh look at religion from the perspective of a younger generation and in plain, some would say irreverent, language. We wanted to explore the inside story, to understand how the bishops themselves see their role. We have quoted extensively from our interviews with the bishops, reporting them verbatim to convey the fact that we were in conversation." -- Preface.
