"This book is a remarkable piece of scholarship both in terms of its depth of analysis and its conclusion ... Especially helpful is the historical background that S. provides throughout to contextualize the debates. The result is a new discovery."
Michael Attridge, University of St. Michael’s College Toronto. In: Theological Studies 73 (2012), p. 249.
"Cet ouvrage bien documenté nous impose de réfléchir à nouveaux frais, et c’est ce que l’on attend d’un bon livre." Gilles Routhier", Université Laval. In: Laval théologique et philosophique, Vol. 67, No. 2 (June 2011), pp. 362-366.
“For defining the battle lines within the Catholic community and suggesting the dissonance with other contemporary interpretative frames, this is a very useful book.”
James P. McCartin, Seton Hall University. In: Church History, Vol. 81, No. 4 (December 2012), pp. 1033-1034.
“While the book is a technical marvel in many ways, Schelkens does not forget that he is telling a story and in so doing records some of the major shifts in Catholic theology during the period in question.”
D. Minch. In: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses, Vol. 88, No. 4 (2012), pp. 537-538.
