Trade Review


'Anybody who believes in a division of power will have no difficulty in accepting Hasting's line. But the ageing left, who think that they may have a powerful apostle for disestablishment, are in for a wonderfully rude awakening.' (Independent)
'To be told of this book…would be enough to whet the appetite. …Actually meeting the book goes beyond whetting appetites; it is somewhere near inflaming them. …There are some pungent axe-edged quotes laid to the root of the tree.' (Church Times)
