Reviews

[Dan Glover · Rating 4 out of 5]

The essays in this book were uneven to me, which can admittedly partly be attributed to my areas of theological and philosophical interest, but which can also be partly attributed to the uneven ability of the writers to communicate the marrow of their subject matter in an engaging way and to clearly state why it is important. Those by Lesslie Newbigin, Richard Bauckham........... To my mind, clearly the best and brightest essay in this collection was that of Kevin Vanhoozer......... to be completed.....

[Joseph Sverker]

This is a very helpful collection of essays if someone is interested in how it is possible to maintain a traditional Trinitarian theology in the light of pluralism. THere are quite a few good papers in there, even though it is also a little uneven. It would have been good to have read the pluralism book that they were constantly referring to.

Mixed bag of essays... just like his edited volume on the love of God... the good ones were very good... worth engaging - even if only selectively. Helpful, but not definitive... Good stuff.
