Trade Review"Does Borden succeed? She most certainly does in portraying Stein's intellectual depth and width. Borden shows an intimate knowledge of Stein's corpu ... Borden is also a superb summarizer and organizer of Stein's materials, demonstrating a sound grasp of the intellectual and historical context of Stein's work and the many thinkers who influenced her. She makes light weather of Heidegger and Husserl, thinkers who are not always easy. ... We should be deeply indebted to Borden for helping establish the intellectual achievements of Edith Stein and providing an inspiration to philosophers and theologians who should definitely read this book." -Gavin D'Costa, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Volume 11, Issue 4, September 2004
