In odd moments recently, I’ve been tidying up my Rowan Williams bibliography (mostly compiled while writing Difficult Gospel), giving it a bit of a polish before releasing it in public. I’ve had quite a few requests for it over the last couple of years, so I assume there’s some demand. I’ve still got a little bit of work to do on some of the more recent material, but I thought I’d start releasing a preliminary version of the earlier years – just in case someone eagle-eyed spots any problems. So, here’s the first in the series: 1972-1979. One quick caveat: I’m afraid that my posting of this bibliography does not mean that I am in a position to provide copies of any of these items.

Please note that this bibliography is still in draft – and that, in particular, the identifiers (e.g., ‘1987b’) are subject to some alteration as new items are added.

For some acknowledgments, and an important note, please see this post.

[Edit: I’ve done some tidying up; hopefully it’s a little easier to read.]
