No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu, Rider £8.99. "27 April 1994 was the day for which we had waited for many long years," writes the former Archbishop, "for which so many of our people have been tear-gassed, bitten by police dogs, tortured, banned, imprisoned..." It was the day that Tutu, aged 62, was allowed to vote for the first time. Here he tells the story of his struggle arid his difficult role as chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The book is dedicated "to the women and the 'little people' of South Africa-.
Christ on Trial: How the Gospel Unsettles our Judgement by Rowan Williams, Fount £6.99. The Anglican Archbishop of Wales argues

The book draws on modern fiction, film and the theatre as well as the Bible; there is even room for the Sherlock Holmes stories. Christ on Trial has been chosen as the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent book for 2001. It's nice to know that Dr Carey plans so far ahead.
