A strong presence on the Scottish cultural scene, Richard Holloway is a former Bishop of Edinburgh, Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council, and last year was acting Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. His own books, including Beyond Belief, Godless Morality, and Between the Monster and the Saint, are philosophical explorations imbued with great warmth and humanity.
