Recenzje

'Ralston's aims in this book are ambitious. His scope is broad. His learnedness impressive. His use of footnotes is commendable … [This] book serves as a fresh model for comparative theology, offering deep learning of the religious other on a particular issue in order to shed light on theological issues from one's home tradition.' Anna Bonta Moreland, Scottish Journal of Theology
