- Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University,

'This is a marvellous collection of well-organized essays by perhaps the most thought-provoking theologian of the moment. They will confirm John Milbank's reputation as one of the most accomplished and singular of theologians currently writing.'

- William Desmond, Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven

' These essays, published over thirty years and gathered in this important new book, demonstrate the consistent acuity and imaginative power of John Milbank's politico-theological vision.'
