"The essays in the present volume . . . are indispensable for any student of the modern scene." --Joseph Frank, Stanford University
"Mikhail Bakhtin's engagement with Christian ideas is given a thorough sounding in this exceptional collection of penetrating essays on a controversial topic that has dominated recent discussion in Bakhtin studies." --Amy Mandelker, editor of Bakhtin in Contexts: Across the Disciplines
"This insightful collection sheds floods of light on one of the most original thinkers of the twentieth century. It shows the deep sources of Bakhtin's dialogical philosophy in the spiritual and theological traditions of Eastern Orthodoxy. Against this background, we can begin to appreciate how radical was Bakhtin's break with the reductive, scientistic, and monological thrust of much Western philosophy." --Charles Taylor, McGill University
