"Effective feminist writing at its best is informative, well researched, thought-provoking without being aggressive, and persuasive through its use of reason. This book is all these things, besides being the product of a deep understanding of English literature and beautifully written."
-David Forrester
"There are two things that I particularly like about this book, and that raise it above the average Intro to Theology book. First, the book invites students to use the library and find the sources for further research. I think that this is especially needed in a time in which students are not willing to rise from their seats and computer screens, thinking that everything can be found through the internet. Second, it broadens the horizon of the students by including chapters on Judaism, Islam, and Catholic Theology in a Global Context."

“One of the challenges of teaching the Bible in a college setting is to help undergraduates grasp that we are involved in a serious academic pursuit and to awaken their intellectual curiosity. The Saint Mary's Press® College Study Bible provides me with the perfect format to introduce students to theological inquiry as a university discipline. This volume is their constant companion and allows us to move back and forth between methodology, contemporary theological application and praxis, commentary, study aids and of course the actual NAB text.”
-Cecilia González-Andrieu, PhDAssistant Professor, Theological Studies Loyola Marymount University
"I commend the authors for their effort to offer this kind of introduction to health care ethics, which explains the theological dimension of current issues with the help of practical cases."

"Introduction to Religious Studies provided my students with a variety of perspectives on issues in the study of religion that they find important. The material was both accessible and challenging, worthy achievements for any text."

“The NAB translation works well in the classroom, but the Saint Mary's Press® College Study Bible includes maps, charts, graphs, and small articles that really invite and engage the students. The scholars behind this project were well versed in current biblical scholarship yet knew how to make it accessible to the students we find in our classrooms.”
-Brian M. Doyle, PhDAssociate Professor of TheologyMarymount University, Arlington, VA
"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."

"[A major strength of the glossary is] ease of use. The layout of the pages is nonintimidating to freshmen . . . with its short definitions and clear print. I also liked that reference was made to the Catechism . . . . It was also quick to use so we could easily use it in class for a definition of a term we came upon."
