"[Clark] certainly opens up many avenues of thought, especially for those with an interest in Barth, Polanyi, theology and science, or epistemology."
Marian Maskulak, Heythrop Journal, Vol 54, Issue 2, March 2013.

This substantial work provides important and original proposals for rearticulating the doctrine of revelation. Taking Karl Barth's doctrine of the Word of God as his point of departure, and expanding upon the work of Michael Polanyi, Clark demonstrates the integral involvement of human imagination in the revelatory event. Addressing this theme, Clark engages with the work of Michael Polanyi, whose philosophy provides a potent resource for the task, such as Polanyi's theory of tacit knowledge and its implications on articulate knowledge.
