Recensione:
...a good launch pad from which mature students of theology can grow in their understanding of the churchs reflection on sacramental theology (Ryan M. McGraw, PRJ)
This volume is a magnificent achievement, unrivaled in both its breadth and its brevity. The fifty contributors, all experts in their fields, cover a huge expanse of history and scholarship, while still managing to make this knowledge accessible to the interested and motivated reader. (Gregory Soderberg, Journal of Reformed Theology)
This text will prove to be a standard resource for sacramental theologians, and perhaps the first place to turn for those who want to ask ― even if for the first time ― why and how Christians have always believed that God works in and through matter. (Jonathan Martin Ciraulo, Reading Religion)
