Rezensionen
"Luminously clear, stunningly thought-provoking, wonderfully constructive - this work draws contemporary religious thought towards the very heart of reality, where existence and understanding and love are all one. Philosophers, theologians, and ethicists of many schools and many levels of expertise will be excited to behold something we all somehow knew must be so, but had never yet quite seen for ourselves."

- Mark A. McIntosh, Loyola University of Chicago, USA

"This is an impressive, creative, and highly original piece of theological work. It makes an important contribution to apologetics and the on-going debates about faith and reason. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in apologetics and the philosophy of religion."

- Yonghua Ge, Beijing Normal University

"We are treated to an admirably clear, jargon-free, and normative (rather than merely historically descriptive) exposition of a characteristically ancient and medieval thought about the essentially God-directed nature, purpose, and function of human rational capacities."

- Sameer Yadav, Westmont College
