“This is the latest addition to the Radical Theologies series, which ‘is dedicated to redefining the very terms of theology as a concept and practice’. … Shakespeare offers us a more demanding but positive insight into how such an iconic theologian can be creatively filtered through the prism of ‘radical theology’.” (Dr. John Saxbee, Church Times, June, 2016)
