`This magisterial work by Rorem will serve excellently anyone who is interested in knowing better a major molder of Christian thought.'
Religious Studies Review, Vol 19, No 4/ Ocotober 1993 `Anyone interested in the Areopagite's influence will find a reliable orientation (and invaluable bibliography) in these pages ... Rorem wears his learning lightly ... fine book.'
Expository Times `There are few scholars alive better qualified to undertake such a commentary than Paul Rorem.' David Evans, Department of Theology, St John's University he sets the Dionysian texts in their sixth-century historical context, He elucidates them clearly and accessibly without minimizing any of the considerable difficulties of interpretation that they present...This book is another major step in the very important process of describing and evaluating for English readers the long march which the Pseudo-Dionysian texts have taken through history, and of clarifying the principles on which a contemporary reading of them might be based. * The Way April 1995 * the edition of a commentary on all these works, chapter by chapter, is a most welcome event, especially for the cross references it gives to the whole Dionysian corpus and to medieval mystics. * Bijdragen, tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie 56 (1995) *
