'This manuscript is a significant contribution of synthesis that, through its developmental approach, helps to recontextualize the theme and open broader discussions of the nature of religion and scholarship in the late medieval and early modern periods...Accessible to general readers and yet meaningful to specialists working in this history of the later Middle Ages, Reformation, and Jewish and Christian traditions.'
