Description

Born and bred in Lancashire, Ian Thomas Ramsey's 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. Unlike his predecessor he was embraced by the people of Durham and soon the Church of England had an irrepressible and popular bishop in their midst. Focusing on Ramsey's years in Durham The Improbable Bishop depicts a man whose compassion and work ethic made him 'Everybody's Bishop' in pit villages, rural communities and secular institutions across the county. The book is a sensitive but rigorous assessment of the virtues, strengths, vulnerabilities and limitations of a man who left a lasting legacy in Durham and whose ideas influenced thinking across the country.
