Recenzje

'This book deserves warm praise and widespread use. While the topics covered are quite standard there is a freshness in their treatment which lifts them out of the ordinary. The book is a model of lucidity and accesibility, containing excellent summary and judicious analysis.' - Dr. John Shepherd, British Journal of Religious Education
