It is not possible to read a book by David Brown without being challenged, informed, and provoked to think again about received assumptions and expectations...[it is a] privilege [to be] invited to revisit familiar liturgical experiences in the company of such an engaging companion and to know them as if for the first time. * John Saxbee, Times Literary Supplement * Brown has written a provocative work of sophisticated theology that, because it wears its learning so lightly, has much to offer the general reader. * Jonathan Wright Catholic Herald * A necessarily short review cannot do justice to the wide range of these two volumes, which witness to an impressive mastery of multi-faceted material, as well as Brown's ability to present it in a highly readable and engaging style...warmly commended, and it is to be hoped that others will follow where David Brown has led. * Geoffrey Brown, International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church * Brown's observations are frequently striking and often sharp...this book is beautifully written, always thought-provoking, and displays vast, quirkily juxtapositioned erudition. * Phillip McCosker, The Tablet *

<br> Over the course of these three volumes he has provided a fine example of how Christianity and imagination can be brought together in a creative and stimulating way. --Anglican Theological Review<p><br>
