A Sterne Lent

The Very Rev. Professor Martyn Percy "Don’t be deceived by the charm and wit of this journey through Lent. With an eye to the human condition and a call to compassion, Chris Swift leads the pilgrim through the marvellous mind of the eccentric Laurence Sterne, a flawed cleric who spoke his mind and skewered the pomp and politics of his day with humour and a yen for truth-telling. This book encourages us to examine our ‘religion’ in pursuit of our faith, uncover our common humanity, and find that in the midst of the mess and complexity of life, there often lies the treasure - if we’re prepared to dig". Revd Dr Victoria Johnson, Dean of Chapel, St John’s College, Cambridge
