Reviews

Well-written, cogently and compellingly argued.... A valuable contribution to the field.
*James Deming, Princeton Theological Seminary*

Remarkably readable, an original piece of scholarship.... Impressive for its lucid, balanced, sensible, and well-informed handling of complex issues and at times exasperatingly obscure concepts.
*Jonathan Beecher, University of California, Santa Cruz*

Deserves a large readership in French intellectual history.
*American Historical Review*
