This convenient volume displays the range of Brown’s interests and makes his work accessible to a new generation of scholars.’ – <b>Victoria S. Harrison</b>, University of Glasgow, UK</p><p>‘It is impossible to do justice to this collection of essays in a brief review, but there is something here to stimulate and challenge every reflective reader… a more or less complete theological vision, as indicated by the title, is presented’ – <b>Adrian Roberts</b> in <i>The Reader</i></p><p>‘The book as a whole is characterized by the eirenic, non-combative stance we have come to expect from Brown (though he says clearly what he disagrees with) and can be recommended as a thoughtful and often original contribution which challenges many current theological clichés.’ – <b>Timothy Gorringe</b> in <em>Theology</em></p><p>‘<em>God in a Single Vision</em> serves as a helpful introduction to Brown’s paradigm, as well as a solid contribution for those interested in the various intersections between philosophy (particularly of an analytic persuasion) and Christian theology.’ – <strong>Joel Mayward</strong> in <em>Transpositions</em></p><p> ‘A Renaissance man in a time of ever-growing specialisation, Brown’s work impresses in scope, research, energy and erudition... His knowledge is breath-taking.’ – <strong>Gesa E. Thiessen</strong> in <em>New Blackfriars</em></p><p>'Editors Christopher R. Brewer and Robert MacSwain have performed a worthy task in gathering some of philosopher and theologian David Brown’s most important essays into a single volume.'<em> </em>– <strong>Benjamin Schewel </strong>in <em>Reading Religion</em></p>
