“An Introduction to Health Care Ethics provides a solid basic text in the field and is particularly helpful in integrating a religious perspective into bioethics in a way that invites deeper dialogue. It is very readable, but does not sacrifice intellectual depth in being accessible.”
-Dr. David A. BardCollege of St. Scholastica
"Dr. Stewart presents a history of the Catholic Church in a very engaging and reader friendly manner. She prompts students to think of where we are now and how we have gotten here. I believe Cynthia Stewart has succeeded in presenting a 'popular history.'"

"The Allman book is comprehensive, covering not only Just War, but also other Christian traditions, and it is written at a level that is more accessible for seminary students, most of whom lack extensive background in philosophy, history, and have only a course or two in Systematic Theology."
-William G. Witt Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology Trinity School for Ministry
"The issues surrounding science and theology are multifaceted. Most books dealing with these issues provide one point of view. This book does it right! Four authors deal separately with the biblical accounts of creation, evolutionary theory, philosophical influences on evolutionary thought, and finally, a positive transcendence of the false dichotomies with an exciting conclusion: “. . . reality is a grand journey, and God is the ultimate adventurer.” It is a brilliant resolution to a difficult issue."

"This is an important book which takes a lot of intellectual risks. Challenging those perceptions of religion which are rooted in traditional patriarchal views, it brings into focus those elements of female experience and culture which are usually silenced and repressed."
-Sue HarperProfessor of Film HistoryUniversity of Portsmouth
"The style and tone of the writing is just right. In fact, many times the text reads like a story. The author's scholarship imbues the text but is kept somewhat in the background, and thus does not get in the way."
-Paul Wadell, PhDSaint Norbert's College, De Pere, Wisconsin
"Honestly, my students actuallyenjoyed the text, Introduction to Religious Studies. There are several reasons for this: the distinction it makes, early on, between the academic and devotional study of religion; the accessibility of the majority of the articles; the wide range of diverse topics it offers, as well as the meaningful questions for reflection and discussion it encourages. Non-traditional and first-year students alike gave it high ratings.
I recommend it enthusiastically."

“I will be using Who Would Jesus Kill? Allman's text is very insightful and provocative—exactly what we want in an undergraduate theology text.”
