Kent Dunnington is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Greenville College in Illinois. He is the author of Addiction and Virtue (2011).
"Latent beneath the topical occasions of these engaging texts lies
a disposition that is not so revolutionary as it is a welcome
return to patristic wisdom, a recovery of the life-giving
conversation of which we are but a part, if an essential part. If
ever we are to know who we are, and who we are called to become, it
would be because we also know those whose lives of prayer preceded
ours."
--Scott Cairns, author of The End of Suffering and Slow Pilgrim
"From Descartes forward, the West has equated truth with the
acquisition of certainty. Scientists and fundamentalists alike
assert it. Laypeople look to experts to convert their uncertainties
into certainty, whether in the boardroom or the hospital bedroom.
McGill brilliantly breaks the thrall of certainty and fixes
attention on the Christ who shoulders uncertainty on our behalf. A
gifted writer, McGill lets readers venture out beyond their
decentering securities and attend to the center that holds."
--Bill May, Retired Cary M. Maguire Professor of Ethics, Southern
Methodist University
