Recensioner i media

"These two excellent books provide thematic indices of Christian ways of understanding both power and work. They also illustrate how profoundly the repertoire of Christianity and of its Judaic origins permeates contemporary society in spite of the impossible prescriptions and false descriptions that declare religion confined to the private realm." (Times Literary Supplement, 29 July 2011)"Its strength lies in its illuminating discussions of a fairly wide range of writers." (Times Higher Education Supplement, February 2008)
