"...He knows both the dilemmas of doubt and the dilemmas of belief as our contemporaries know them...But one finds also an intelligent awareness of the great sources from which the English spiritual tradition is derived--not Hooker, William Law and George Macdonald merely, but Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine as well.
