Our Amazon in the States might not ever carry this one (as is the case with many fine imported titles, sadly), but I'd be willing to spring for the extra shipping if the British store sells it.

(The word usually translated as ‘inn’ actually means ‘guest room’.) I heard the interview yesterday and at no point did Rowan Williams deny the historicity of the nativity accounts - he just tried to point out what they actually say, as opposed to what people think they say.
