<p>"Arresting, spiritually profound, ethically searching, vastly learned, and infused with passion." - Paul Avis, Exeter University (Ecclesiology)</p> <p>"... <i>A Brutal Unity </i>is a significant book, one that should serve as a touchstone for ecclesiology and theological politics in this century." - Anthony G. Siegrist, Prairie Bible College (E<i>vangelical Quarterly</i>)</p> <p>"This is a profoundly beautiful book. It is painful, yet, it does not leave one without hope." - Johnny Walker (<i>Freedom in Orthodoxy</i>)</p> <p>"Radner's arguments are tightly wound and profoundly elegant. He argues with the skill of a classical rhetorician and the aesthetic power of early Anglican polemicists, which he seeks to emulate." - Antony Easton, Concordia University (<i>Journal of Religion and Culture</i>)</p> <p>"… well worth the intellectual investment." - Dustin Resch, Briercrest College and Seminary (<i>Anglican Theological Review</i>)</p> <p>"…a provocative and insightful book, especially for its claims about the ways in which the procedures of contemporary liberalism have found their way into church life and decision making." - A. W. Klink, Duke University (<i>CHOICE Advance</i>)</p> <p>"…Radner's ecclesiological explorations bring intense biblical, historical, and theological insights to bear on brutally honest assessments of the actual church(es) we live in." - Dr. Joseph D. Small (<i>Pro Ecclesia</i>)</p> <p>"[<i>A Brutal Unity</i>] draws the reader with whiplash speed through an astonishing quantity of texts as it tries to tease out answers and chart out futures for the fractured body of Christ." - Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, Institute for Ecumenical Research (<i>Pro Ecclesia</i>)</p> <p><i>"A Brutal Unity</i> is a book of the workday: of academic analysis, digging into archives, deconstructing a whole history of ecclesial claims, and constructing guidelines for new ones. But it is labor offered for the sake of the end time and anticipating its coming. It is a book that demonstrates how academic writing can be infused with the spirit (of Scripture, of prayer, of the One who gives himself) and yet be no less academic." - Peter Ochs, University of Virginia (<i>Pro Ecclesia</i>)</p>
