It is a vision that might have seemed outlandish at the outset of his philosophical career, but is now beginning to command respect throughout the philosophical guild. Crisply argued, elegantly structured, and effortlessly wide-ranging,\i The Priority of Mind\i0 is one of the most accessible and engaging presentations of the case for idealism that I have ever come across. James Orr\kerning0\f1\fs17\par}Luther's Meditations on the Gospels, edited and translated by Ronald H. Bainton, is not only a theologically rich expositional book on the Gospels but also an invaluable work in Reformation studies. This volume clearly shows the brilliant theological insights of the German reformer. Bainton's exceptional editorial work and the inclusion of woodcut illustrations give readers an enjoyable reading experience through the Gospels. Marc Daniel Rivera In Kristiya Know, 01/2024.
