About the Author
Reviews
-- University of Nottingham
"David Hart is unerringly learned, eloquent, and profound over an enormous intellectual range. Above all, this book (worth reading for the stunning Milton essay alone) shows just how the narrative vision of Christianity and its metaphysics of the simple, eternal, nonsuffering, and omnipotent God require each other. . . . With a glorious disrespect for shibboleths, Hart proclaims, with unique brilliance, how Christianity restores, fulfills, and transcends the earliest human intuitions concerning the obscure symbolism of nature, the priesthood of humanity, and the unnaturalness of death."
-- Tony Clark in Theology
"A veritable theological feast."
The Living Church
"[Hart] has an uncanny ability not only to write on theological problems with penetrating clarity and astonishing intelligence and insight, but his theology also maintains a striking, memorable aesthetic. This latest published collection of his theological essays presents him at his finest in both regards."
