"The technical competance of Burke's scholarship is exemplary." -Scottish Journal of Theology "...each chapter of Burke's book is a tour de force..." -The Thomist "Turns a new page in Rahnerian studies, showing the middle way between adoring disciples and carping critics. ... With its complete mastery of the original sources and wide knowledge of secondary literature Burke's book deserves to be read by all who appreciate Rahner and even by those who criticize him." -- -John J. McDermott Pontifical College Josephinum
