Pressestimmen

'... a discussion which is brisk, jargon-free and splendidly readable.' Times Literary Supplement 'Written with wit and verve ... It is the best kind of popular cultural thinking, helping the educated lay person to hold together a range of 'stories' from the last three hundred years of the cultural history of the West ... this is an attractive and stimulating book' Theology
