Bibliography
Arie L. Molendijk is Professor of History of Christianity and Philosophy at the University of Groningen. He studied Theology, Philosophy, and Drama at the University of Leiden. Professor Molendijk has extensively published in the history of ideas, in particular Nineteenth- and Twentieth-century Theology, Religious studies, and Philosophy.
This is an important and eminently readable book.
*Lukas Pokorny, University of Vienna, Religious Studies Review*
This book is primarily useful in providing some of the background
that informed the making of the SBE series.

[T]here are real rewards to be found in [Molendijk's book]...Above
all, it is good to see an entire volume dedicated to Muller, who,
although a frequent guest star in studies of Victorian literature,
rarely receives sustained attention himself.
*Sebastian LeCourt, Victorian Studies*
Arie Molendijks history of that vast publishing project offers a
fascinating glimpse of an emerging academic field, as well as a
startling portrait of a truly transdisciplinary scholar intent on
proving that Eastern religions were essential for an understanding
of Western culture.
*Janet M. Powers, Religion*
Since the series as such has rarely been the object of close
historical research ... Molendijks monograph is an original and
very welcome contribution. ... the first part of the book is
largely narrative and full of interesting observations and
anecdotes, while the second is more analytical and reflective and
has shorter chapters. Altogether this makes reading the book as a
whole an easy, but reflective and rewarding experience.
*Christoph Uehlinger, Religion*
