Critics Review
McNabb and Baldwin do us an important service in challenging the idea that one cannot be a Buddhist classical theist, and contribute to broadening analytic philosophy of religion so that it engages, and brings into dialogue, a range of religious ideas and perspectives * NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion *
Classical Theism and Buddhism is a refreshingly generous and well-defended counterpoint to all those who fashionably maintain the incommensurability of Buddhism-Christianity and East-West. * Kelly James Clark, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Ibn Haldun University, Turkey *
A timely contribution to cross cultural philosophy of religion, combining rigour and philosophical imagination to open a door between Buddhism and Classical Theism. * Victoria S. Harrison, Professor of Philosophy, University of Macau, China *
