About this title

Review

...Accurate and searching discussions of Dooyeweerd's thought are conducted in a mode of discourse familiar to the English-speaking world. Excellent discussions of a first-rate contemporary thinker.>>>> (Wolterstorff, Nicholas Dialogue Xxvi)

To read this book...is certainly rewarding. The book is a model of how one generation of thinkers can most fruitfully relate to an older one, escaping both doctrinaire discipleship and individualistic self-assertion.>>>> (Dialogue Xxvi)
