　　"[Sheldrake′s] gr*** of the key figures and movements within the western Christian tradition is c***istently sure–footed, and the book will be very useful for those seeking an accessible one–volume introduction to the subject by an acknowledged authority ... . This is an excellent book and can be safely recommended to students and others alike." (Theology, September, October 2008)“Wonderfully encapsulates the complex manner in which the term spirituality has taken on various meanings within the Christian tradition … Those who are interested in learning more about the major movements in the Christian tradition are sure to find this book a wonderful introduction into learning more about thinkers who have ardently longed to attain wisdom.” (The Heythrop Journal)“One gets the sense that Sheldrake knows and loves his subject, and more importantly, wants to share his knowledge with others. I strongly recommend this book.” (Anglican Theological Review)
