Reviews
McIntosh makes absorbing Christian theological arguments rooted in the so-called divine ideas tradition, and he makes a powerful bid for the relevance of this tradition. * G. J. Reece, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 *
McIntosh's erudition is impressive and his contribution to theology and philosophy significant. * Julia Lamm, Scottish Journal of Theology * For McIntosh, immersion in the theological tradition concerning the divine ideas was not merely an academic exercise, but a matter of burning actuality. * Robert P. Imbelli, Commonweal Magazine * In The Divine Ideas, McIntosh marshals an array of Christian thinkers- from Origen and Augustine, through Maximus the Confessor and John Scotus Eriugena, to Aquinas and Bonaventure * Robert P. Imbelli, Commonweal Magazine * McIntosh makes absorbing Christian theological arguments rooted in the so-called divine ideas tradition, and he makes a powerful bid for the relevance of this tradition. * G.

The book would be successful as a basis for a graduate seminar, but undergraduates could also benefit from the way that the book does not become overly technical in laying out the notion, history, or significance of thinking about God's ideas. * Fr .
