Marvin Perry deserves our gratitude for restoring Toynbee to our attention. As we approach a new millennium, we urgently need his all-inclusive historical perspective and spiritual insights. Theodore H. Von Laue, Frances and Jacob Hiatt Professor of European History (Emeritus), Clark University
In an age of globalization, this balanced account of the life and thought of the pioneering ecumenical historian, Arnold Toynbee, takes on added significance. Perry's is a clear and thoughtful treatment of major themes related to our understanding of the nature of civilization and our Western traditions, especially those concerning reason and religion.
