About this title

Synopsis

"A valuable exposition of the thesis that the explanatory work of theology possesses formal similarities with that of the physical sciences the social sciences and philosophy. Clayton exhibits an impressive command of a broad area of scholarship and his reflections are balanced and carefully argued." -- Michael J. Buckley S.J. Jesuit Theological Seminary

From the Back Cover
