Reviews

'An excellent collection - advancing, both pro and con, the most provocative theological movement of the new millennium'. James J. Buckley, Loyola College in Maryland, U.S.A. 'The intellectual energy displayed in this exchange shows the vitality of British theology today'. Nicholas Lash, Emeritus Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK '...a valuable introduction to the Radical Orthodoxy movement. Those engaged in critical reflection on the merits and limitations of modern theoloy for the postmodern world will find it a challenging and stimulating collection.' Theological Studies, 2001 'The academic ferocity of the debate is immediately evident in these essays...This volume will be of immense value for theologians everywhere, but it will also be useful for average believers who simply wish to keep abreast of the Catholic position. As a movement that manages simultaneously to place God back in the centre of theology, capture public imagination, and usher in a new age of postsecularism, Radical Orthodoxy is set to rock the theological world further, a worrying thought that makes this lucid Catholic enquiry all the more welcome.' John Townsend in the Catholic Herald 'This volume will be invaluable to all those interested in radical orthodoxy itself, quite apart from the Catholic dimension. In their essays Milbank, Pickstock and Ward engage in the tasks of clarifying, modifying and developing their positions in response to various criticisms that have recently arisen... a stimulating and engaging collection of essays that moves the debate forward in genuinely innovative ways.' Modern Theology 'The topic of how Catholic theology responds to modernity and the loss of tradition, and the rise of the Radical Orthodoxy movement, is thoughtfully and respectfully presented in this book... the book is a starting point for further reflection and strategic planning in the contemplation of the ideas and principles which are espoused by the Radi
