‘Pithy, and with a way of putting things that often seems singularly insightful... this is a welcome addition to the McCabe corpus... McCabe had a rich and fertile mind, and his stature is such that it is valuable and instructive to be helped to trace his development and occasional lapses.'

For the student who wants to uncover the deep structure of McCabe's Thomistic theology, the present volume is invaluable.
