Reviews

“ As a philosopher, Dr. James captures the spirit of postmodernism and its impact on the church. Reminding the church of its existence as a counter- cultural witness, she raises profound questions about the church and its future.”
­-The Rev. Elly Sparks Brown
All Saints Episcopal Church Princeton, New Jersey


“[The author’s] narrative style and her attention to the theological debate breathe life into the history of this Anglican schism.”
-Prof. Sharon Dahlgren Voros
United States Naval Academy
