This is what makes the book hard to put down - the authors' enthusiasm for their subject comes through in both their treatment of the individuals and of the literature. The book will undoubtedly become a useful source of study and reference material, but it is more than this. For me, it has provided a fascinating window onto some lesser-known authors who have developed ideas which provide a context for the thoughts of today's Christian socialists. It is not a book to be rushed through, but one to which I will enjoy returning and exploring again and again.\" \u003ci\u003eChristian Socialist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This compilation is a welcome contribution, combining as it does feminist and black theology themes with the incipient communism of the Civil War radicals.\" \u003ci\u003eAnabaptism Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"An inspiring collection.\" \u003ci\u003eChurch Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This book is a goldmine, which I have already put on the Reading List for a new course...This is essential for scholars, and a good read for many others as well.\" \u003ci\u003eReform\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[T]hose who read \u003ci\u003eRadical Christian Writings\u003c\/i\u003e with patience and proper guidance will find it an invaluable resource.
