This is a really unusual book in its range of reference, its depth of analysis, and its careful nuance of argument. Discussing thinkers from Irenaeus to Thomas Merton and Charles Taylor, James Lawson shows how Christian integrity says both yes and no to the world as it is--and how it requires us to be discerning about what exactly is being affirmed or denied at any point. A model of clear and profound exploration. --Rowan Williams, former Master, Magdalene College, Cambridge In a work erudite in its scope and wise in its analyses, James Lawson shows that to follow Christ is at once to embrace the fallen world more fully than anyone else, and yet in its midst to have no part of it whatsoever. This double way of incarnation and cross is only united as a process of incomplete and not fully foreseeable transfiguration of the world which we must enter into and carry forwards. --John Milbank, Professor emeritus, University of Nottingham
