Reviews

[...]the ambition of this book excites. More scholars - Christians and non-Christians alike - should reevaluate philosophy of history from a medieval perspective. -Nathan J. Ristuccia, Reviews in Religion and Theology vol. 22, issue 2 , March 2015 Furry has worthwhile things to say about the importance of reading Bede with serious theological interest; he has correctly noted the important differences between Bede's and Agustine's approaches to Genesis 1 and provides some valuable discussion of those differences. -Conor O'Brien, Journal of Theological Studies, vol 66 issue 1, April 2015 Furry's lucid style, helpful analogies, and impressive grasp of his multifarious series of interlocking subjects are sure to delight any careful reader who is interested in how the past relates to the present. A careful work such as this merits careful attention. -Josh Bruce, The Expository Times, Vol. 127 No. 11, August 2016
