Rezensionen

"Clasby's book should appeal to all those who wish to go beyond the present debate between debunkers of religion and the naively pious. Believer's frameworks will be enlarged; skeptics will be challenged but delighted to find even new questions for their pious friends. This book is both amazingly fresh and deeply traditional." - Joseph Cunneen, Founder and Editor of Cross Currents

"[A]n interesting work." - Peter Stiles, Sydney, Australia
