| Summary: | I approached this book with various apprehensions. Was it likely that a single writer would discuss with equal competence two such diverse figures as Thomas Aquinas and John Wesley—especially as this author’s position at Duke Divinity School also includes responsibility for Hispanic studies? Is there not a danger of extracting fragments from two systems of belief and forcing them into an artificial unity—as has been done, for example, with aspects of Christian and Buddhist devotion? How far is the author’s commitment to ecumenism likely to distort his presentation of points of difference and disagreement?, I am happy to declare Professor Colón-Emeric not guilty on all three counts. |
