Reviews

Weightman is an excellent intellectual anatomist. He carefully dissects the systems of Michael Polanyi and Thomas Torrance, showing in detail how various ideas arose in each man's development and how they interact with each other. His reading of both men is clear, helpful, and persuasive. (George E. Griener, Theological Studies)
