[Jeanrond's] prose brings his subject matter to life. He displays intimate familiarity with his topic, seamlessly weaving his chosen thinkers into his discussion, and he consistently references his focal points without being repetitive or pedantic. This text would be a welcome addition to any university library. Because the work assumes some familiarity with the Christian theological tradition, it is best suited for use with advanced undergraduate or graduate students.
