Zusatztext Saarinen's new book is written for academic specialists in historical and systematic Christian theology; it may prompt interest in recognition among scholars of other religions, and of religious pluralism, as well ... the book's central claim -- that a theological mode of recognition exists independently of Hegel and that post-Hegelian philosophy is indebted to that tradition -- is a bold, very well-defended, and, I think, eminently defensible one ... Saarinen is very good at showing patterns of continuity and discontinuity in the treatment of religious recognition. His carefully structured prose, which is notably unadorned with stylistic flourishes, clearly shows significant variations among accounts of religious recognition.
