Reviews

As a philosopher, Dr. James captures the spirit of postmodernism and its impact on the church. Reminding the church of its existence as a counter-cultural witness, she raises profound questions about the church and its future. (The Rev. Elly Sparks Brown All Saints Episcopal Church Princeton, New Jersey) [The author's] narrative style and her attention to the theological debate breathe life into the history of this Anglican schism. (Prof. Sharon Dahlgren Voros United States Naval Academy)
