David Bentley Hart is an Eastern Orthodox scholar of religion, philosopher, writer, and cultural commentator.
“Hart marshals powerful historical evidence and philosophical
argument to suggest that atheists—if they want to attack the
opposition’s strongest case—badly need to up their game.”—Oliver
Burkeman, The Guardian
"This hugely suggestive book is a lyrical paean to a vital, more
capacious understanding of reality, ourselves and God: a timely and
gripping invitation to wake up, see the regnant naturalism, and
subvert its suffocating hegemony. The text is by turns elegant,
curmudgeonly, witty, infuriating, incisive, nostalgic, rhapsodical,
explosive, frequently bang on the money – and always
stimulating."—Philip McCosker, The Tablet
"David Hart’s new book is nothing less than astounding. He is
liberal, conservative, radical, theological, philosophical, and
historical all at the same time – that is his genius. There is no
American writing on religion as intelligently, bravely, and
originally as Hart."—Conor Cunningham, University of Nottingham
"David Bentley Hart’s new book is a feast- stylish and substantial.
Bringing together Sanskritic analyses of God’s being with Latin and
Greek and Arabic ones, this is a considerable achievement by one of
the most distinctive voices in contemporary theology."—Paul J.
Griffiths, Duke Divinity School
"David Hart can always be relied on to offer a perspective on
Christian faith that is both profound and unexpected. In this
masterpiece of quiet intellectual and spiritual passion, he
magnificently sets the record straight as to what sort of God
Christians believe in and why."—Rowan Williams, University of
Cambridge
"Writing at a high philosophical level with a sharp sense of humor,
Hart argues for an ecumenical Theism. Devastatingly accurate,
imaginative, and immensely readable, this is David Bentley Hart’s
best book."—Francesca Murphy, University of Notre Dame
"Magnificent . . . a book unlike anything done in recent times and
one that only Hart could write."—Robert Louis Wilken
