Recenzje

"A guide that in several ways stands out from others. Its most remarkable quality is its uncanny mix of learning and enthusiasm... Both as the premier selcetion guide for religion and theology, and to goad students and scholars into rediscovering the reference section in their libraries, Johnston's book is timely and welcome." -- Choice
