"""Some thinkers labor in a particular furrow, hand to the plough, making progress on an area or line of argument over the course of time. Others, like Nicholas Wolterstorff, manage to contribute to the propagation of several different intellectual crops in different fields. In this work, he brings together essays in areas in which he has made signal contributions individually: on the notion of justice, on art and aesthetics, and on liturgy - binding them together with love. It is an important collection of his work, and a valuable contribution to the cross-fertilization of these distinct areas, which he has done so much to help flourish."" - Oliver D. Crisp, Professor of Analytic Theology and Director of the Logos Institute, University of St Andrews ""We can always rely on Nicholas Wolterstorff for original and philosophically astute insights on matters which we often - wrongly - take for granted. Here, in his most recent set of collected essays, he brings together his reflections on justice, aesthetics, and liturgy, and finally unites them under the category of divine love. Let us not imagine that Wolterstorff has finished his thinking, for here we see yet new enrichment and depth."" - Sarah Coakley, FBA, University of Cambridge and Australian Catholic University    "
