Review

"'As we have come to expect from Gunton, this is academic theology that makes demands on the reader, but it is written from a clear commitment of faith and a pastoral heart, the warmth of which reaches us in every chapter.'- Church Times; 'Intellect and Action has something of the feel of a masterclass: following a well-versed thinker through his reflections on major issues as they were put by major thinkers.'-The Heythrop Journal"
