Reviews
Spectres of False Divinity is an impressive work. Kenneth R. Merrill, Mind Hume may not persuade everyone that his moral and theological positions are correct, but Holdens study of his work is an important contribution to clarifying his ideas and their significance. It deserves to be read carefully and its points pondered seriously. David A. Pailin, Journal of Theological Studies While the idea of Hume as a moral atheist is not new, Holden's case for that proposition makes two new and important contributions to the discussion of the issue. David O'Connor, Hume Studies

David O'Connor, Hume Studies Spectres of False Divinity is an impressive work. Holden is in firm control of the evidence he marshals in support of his principal thesis about Hume's moral atheism. ... the frequent inclusion of interesting and illuminating historical material is one of the excellences of the book. Another virtue is the uniformly scrupulous attention Holden pays to objections and even some possible objections to the various claims he makes. Kenneth R. Merrill, Mind
