Media Reviews

The sheer delight that David Bentley Hart's turns of phrase invite tempts me to agree with almost anything he writes-almost. Not since Newman have we had a theologian at once so erudite, profound, stylistically brilliant, and funny. His harsh judgments and outrageous opinions betray an irrepressible generosity of soul. - Stanley Hauerwas
