'... Davison offers an impressive and wide-ranging study of the doctrine of participation, effectively demonstrating how it provides a metaphysical framework for theology that allows us to see the world as a gift from God, bearing some trace of his likeness, and creation as profoundly precious because of the one who gives it to us, and whose likeness it bears: God himself.' Daria Spezzano, The Living Church
'Andrew Davison's Participation in God is a magnificent gift to teachers and students of Christian theology, preachers of the faith, spiritual directors of the faithful, and specialists requiring a systematic theology of participation.' Simon Oliver, Modern Theology
'The text is written in a lucid and inviting style. The student of theology will find in ita offer a movingly coherent and often poetic account of a world ordered by and sharing in God. The scholar as well will find plenty of insights ... Few scholars have the gift of writing such a full treatment of a bedrock idea in a way that is both approachable and generativeof new critical engagement. Davison has this gift, and he has written such a book.' Anthony Baker, Scottish Journal of Theology
'... especially admirable as a lucid, generous, thorough synthesis of recent and contemporary scholarly discussions of Thomist thought.' Clare Carlisle, Times Literary Supplement
'Davison ... succeeds overall in offering a clear, theologically nuanced and philosophically tenable articulation of participation in God with all that it entails. Works of this kind can be opaque, but Davison's monograph stands out since he writes for the specialist and the nonspecialist alike. Due to the breadth and depth of his treatment, this work ought to be consulted by anyone interested in systematic theology in general and metaphysics and philosophical theology more specifically.' Thomas Haviland-Pabst, Theology and History
