Reviews
The author has drawn us deeper by degrees into an experience of presence as we move from one section to the next. His hope is that by exploring theological and philosophical traditions and the best of modern literature, the dread and boundary situations of life can be balanced by experiences of joy through an ontological intuition of 'presence.' It may be the only book of its kind and is highly recommended as a means to re-explore a lasting theme that is often neglected. -- James C. Harris MLN A beautifully written apologia for an ineffable or indefinable topic. -- Christian Frothingham Anglican Theological Review
