Reviews

"His retelling of the socalled Wars of Religion, his performative understanding of the eucharist, and his analysis of space and time render his book vital not only in theology but also in philosophy, political theory, and sociology. Cavanaugh rightly imagines the church as political; this places us in his debt." -Anglican Theological Review
