Recensioner i media

[...]an inspiring vision for how engineering can be understood as a Christian vocation, so long as its particular practice serves both moral means and ends. This book is intended first for wellread engineering undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty, but also for students of theology and ethics who are interested in a creative and helpful interdisciplinary project.
