Extract

As I reflect on what is distinctive about this book, the word “seamless” comes to mind. Having experienced my share of multi-authored “readers,” pieced together around a broad subject representing diverse and sometimes conflicting, even contradictory, approaches, I find it refreshing to encounter an anthology that succeeds in introducing major questions in which leading scholars are currently engaged, and presenting them in sufficient detail and sophistication to serve as an invitation to join in the work.
