Trade ReviewSanctuary and Subjectivity is a book for our current zeitgeist. At a time when the theological academy has finally caught sight of the phenomenon that is whiteness and its impact on the boundaries and borders that are policed by White nationalism, Michael Woolf's book is a breath of fresh air. It offers us a challenging and inspiring look at one of the major fault lines in our contemporary life. This is a must read! * Anthony G. Reddie, University of Oxford, UK *
