Review
"...the book propounds an interesting thesis that should challenge all sides of the debate to hone their arguments." Mark Peters, Interpretation"...the author has a clear command of the literature to which he refers....Recommended for specialists doing work in ecclesiology and Christian ethics." Andrew Flescher, Religious Studies Review"...both the range and the depth of the overacting analysis are sure and sophisticated and should not be underestimated by those with little sympathy for religion." Ethics
