Publisher's Synopsis
Born and bred in Lancashire, Ian Thomas Ramseyâ?Ts background gave few clues as to his future calling. A brilliant and original thinker, his works on philosophy, theology and science developed and popularised new concepts in each discipline. Ordained in 1940 and having spent twenty six years as an academic and lecturer at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford, Ramsey was an unexpected but inspired choice for appointment as Bishop of Durham.
