`an intricate and sophisticated argument for rationally justifying
one's taking a religious text as divine revelation. The argument is
rich in creative thinking and in its breadth . . . an object of
careful discussion serving for progress in philosophy of
religion.

readers will find this book fascinating and written with sufficient
clarity for the non-specialist.'
