Massa provides a magisterial overview of [Thomas S.] Kuhn's thought. This is important not only because theologians should learn from the natural and social sciences, but also because Kuhn's model of paradigm shifts enlightens our contemporary Catholic life in the United States... This book is itself a revolution in a journey toward a fuller understanding of natural law discourse in the church. It does not disappoint. * Daniel Cosacchi, America: The Jesuit Review *

Intellectual breadth, empathy and precision, so rarely found together, and so illustrative of the best of humankind, are here combined into a tour de force. Anyone who wishes to be serious about the Catholic intellectual life must henceforth have a well-dog-eared copy of this book on their shelves. * Michael Sean Winters, National Catholic Reporter * Massa provides a magisterial overview of [Thomas S.] Kuhn's thought.
