Reviews

'This is a rich and diverse collective volume, which captures the reader's interest and has the merit of putting forward a topic that deserves further attention. … The editors and authors deserve credit for having moved this issue onto the stage and the scholarly agenda. It has led to a volume that challenged my thinking and which informed me. Its richest contribution lies in the collective project as a whole. The book will be most rewarding for the reader who focuses on the first section of five essays and the introductory paper. The message that those contributions put forward deserves to be heard.' Reinhart Ceulemans, Augustiniana
