<br> Contains a remarkably succinct and explicit statement of [Taylor's] most basic religious commitments, responses by fellow Catholic scholars, and Taylor's concluding reflections and comments. --Commonweal<p><br> A very little but very important book....Taylor's lecture and the discussion surrounding it offer an occasion of rare grace and lucidity in trying to understand how to be Christian in a culture whose intellectual elites have, for the most part, decided that Christianity is either irrelevant or threatening. --First Things<p><br> Each of the book's eleven chapters is widely informed, and Heft has a gift for articulately summarizing and sharing the literature he reviews... I was impressed andw by this book which deserves a readership wider than its title implies... This book is highly recommended for all libraries. --American Catholic Studies<p><br>
