Reviews

This well-written, lucid, and reasoned tome continues Crosby's grand systematic effort at explicating and rationally defending his religion of Nature ... this book represents a most valuable dialogue between a variant of naturalistic process philosophy and numerous developments in contemporary science. - Process Studies While this is an important scholarly contribution, those who teach will appreciate it as a pedagogical contribution as well. The material is accessible to a wide audience, including undergraduates from a variety of disciplines, and as always, Crosby writes with a humility and graciousness that makes his work a model for students and young scholars trying to develop their own positions and find their own voices. - American Journal of Theology and Philosophy
