"Expressing and exploring one's view of the transcendent through plot and character instead of through thesis and argument gives theology a living character of flesh and bloodIn the history of such work, Milton's Paradise Lost stands as a great achievement." [...] "The issues the book raises linger with the reader, which is a good sign that the book is well worth the read."T. J. Crutcher in: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses 84.4/2008
