Trade Review"These studies...remind the scholar of religion that we do violence to religion if we think that we can domesticate it in some closed system or reductionistic mode of explanation." -Journal of Ecumenical Studies "Wyschogrod gathers together 32 philosophical essays produced over two decades, revealing the range of her thinking." -SciTech Book News " ... demonstrates the impressively wide-ranging and unflinchingly engaged work of Edith Wyschogrod." -Theology, Ethics and Philosophy "Crossover Queries brings together important essays on a remarkable range of topics by one of our most insightful cultural critics. Commenting on philosophical and theological issues that have shaped the recent past as well as scientific and technological questions that will preoccupy us in the near future, Wyschogrod consistently alerts us to the urgency of problems whose importance few recognize. To avoid the challenge these essays pose is to avoid responsibility for a future that appears to be increasingly fragile." -- -Mark C. Taylor Columbia University
