'As one has come to expect of McCabe, there is wonderful clarity to
the writing.' Canon David Brown, Church Times--Sanford Lakoff

"a wonderful clarity to the writing" Canon Brown, Church Times,
October 2007--Sanford Lakoff "Church Times "
"Here is the latest collection of unpublished papers of the late
Herbert McCabe, and what a treat it is. The combination of crystal
logic, sparkling wit, and interrogative fides quaerens intellectum,
deeply informed by Aquinas and richly modulated by Wittgenstein,
are again on bravura display...excellent."--Sanford Lakoff
"McCabe had written important articles during the 'Myth of God
Incarnate' controversy and the clarity of his thought shines
through in a sermon which is a model exposition of the Christian
faith." New Directions, July 2007--Sanford Lakoff "New Directions
"
"McCabe has been influentual in creating the commonest modern
account [of Aquinas]" Canon Brown, The Church Times, October
2007--Sanford Lakoff "Church Times "
"This is a book that has much to offer professional academics and
general readers alike. It is the work of a born communicator, who
has the power to inspire and to touch the heart, as well as to
argue his case with care and with rigour. Christianity could do
with more such advocates"--Sanford Lakoff "The American Spectator
"
