‘From Paul's citing the Stoic poet Aratus in his Areopagus speech to Alain Badiou's recent reworking to Paul's writings, Christianity has always interacted with contemporary philosophers, including their religious and ethical beliefs. This absorbing colleaction of freshly thought out, often innovative and always richly documented essays covers the whole spectrum from the beginning until now: highly recommended.' - Fergus Kerr, O.P., University of Edinburgh, UK
