Media Reviews
Highly recommended. Fergus Kerr, Blackfriars, Edinburgh After Writing establishes Catherine Pickstock as one of the most promising young theologians in the English--speaking world. The book is insightful, provocative, and of consistently high scholarly quality. L. Gregory Jones, Duke University I applaud the thesis of this impressive work. Paul Avis, Center for the study of the Christian Church Exeter One could in conscience recommended this volume only to the ambitious and determined, but they will find it rich, and Pickstock is a name to be watching for. William C. Placher, Christian Century Catherine Pickstock, has perhaps written the best riposte yet to the archbishopa s request for a a spiritual spacea within the Millennium Dome. C. W. Kemp Pickstocka s discussion of Derrida is sophisticated. Bryan D.

Paul Griffiths, University of Chicago The proposal of a radical self--surpassing giftedness in the eucharist invites the possibility of future conversations with other hermeneutical positions. David Livingston, Mercyhurst College This a book of real originality, and in its finest moments it achieves an almost visionary intensity ... She is extraordinarily gifted, and I suspect that in this book we have merely glimpsed her portent. Pro Ecclesia
