Rezensionen

"The strengths of the book are several [...] What the book very usefully provides is a compelling synthetic statement of the best available arguments for the significance of theism in Smith's thought. [...] It will be of great use to both the skeptical and the already converted in its lucid distillation of the key poles in the debate and its clear delineation of the most contested points within the debate." - Ryan Hanley, Journal of Economics, Theology and Religion
