“An excellent survey for the graduate student or theologically informed member of the public. . . . A book with which one wants to enter into careful dialogue. And that is the very best kind of history book.”
“An important addition to the existing literature in its special field. . . . Thoroughly grounded in the sources and recent secondary literature, the presentations are scrupulously fair and the judgments made are restrained and judicious.”
“A mature, well-organized book. Welch has fruitfully mined the sources for each thinker discussed. There are extensive bibliographic and explanatory footnotes, which add substantially to the usefulness of the study. Clear and detailed in exposition, perceptive and incisive in judgment, Welch instructively points out the characteristic and distinctive features of his subjects' thought and quite convincingly illuminates both the strengths and weaknesses of their rationales.”
