""Alan Sell has earned our warmest thanks for showing us the rich resources of Christian philosophy in these recent thinkers who were too early to be beholden to our current apologetic fashions. Anglicans should be proud of them."" --Terence Penelhum, University of Calgary, Canada ""We should be grateful to Alan Sell for this thorough and detailed discussion of four largely unread twentieth-century philosophical theologians. This book, which is at once erudite and entertaining, reads like the account of a seminar in which the author is a sympathetic outsider who wants to understand what makes people think the way they do about God and the world--and then to see whether this can still inform the task of Christian theology and apologetics today. --Mark D. Chapman, Ripon College Cuddesdon and University of Oxford, UK
