'… the volume can be recommended to more advanced discourse analysts and scholars from other fields who wish to engage in critical dialogue with language-based approaches to the study of religion … As a book about religion, [this study] is a rich resource for anyone curious about various perspectives on the role of faith and spirituality for the present-day human condition.'
