John Habgood (1927-2019) was Archbishop of York from 1983-1995, and
prior to that had served ten years as Bishop of Durham. 'Just
John', the biography written at Lord Habgood's request and with his
full cooperation while alive, is warm, witty and affectionate.
Nonetheless, as its title implies, it is a truthful portrayal of
the man that John Habgood was - guileless, flawed, just. 'Just
John' is the authorised biography of the former Archbishop of York,
John Habgood, by one of the people who knew him best, author and
Bishop, David Wilbourne. Published on the first anniversary of John
Habgood's death on 6 March 2019, this Christian biography by David
Wilbourne offers an honest and insightful look into Lord Habgood's
life as an Anglican theologian and former Archbishop of York. John
Habdood's ability to mediate and solve what seemed impossible
problems, both in the Church and modern society, is legendary.
However, his formidable intellect and shy manner could make him
seem a distant, enigmatic figure. 'Just John' is a biography
written with meticulous detail and full of interesting personal
history and anecdotes. This biography by David Wilbourne also
features extracts from John Habgood's personal diary that he kept,
reveals the story behind the issue of the fateful Crockford Preface
and analyses Habgood's friendships with Bishops Peter and Michael
Ball. Through reading this book about John Habgood, the reader will
feel as if they know Habgood and have a greater understanding of
the interesting yet guarded life he lived.
