"George Dennis O'Brien is one of the Wise Men of contemporary Catholicism, a trained philosopher, and an experienced and savvy University President. In this dazzling book he develops a unique theory of Christology of God as the author of the 'World Play' who intervenes in history to confirm his story and then lays out a theory of infallibility which seems eminently sensible, an infallibility with a properly fatherly (or motherly) voice. Some conservatives won't like it, but as a layman and retired university president, they can't do anything about it! As long as there are men like O'Brien writing, the Church hasn't yet lost its voice." --Andrew Greeley, author of The Catholic Revolution
"This important book shows us anew how to think about church directly, analytically, and even poetically. A major event." --David Tracy, emeritus, The University of Chicago Divinity School
"What makes this book a must is that it is not only creative, it is also a new kind of theological voice in the American Catholic church. O'Brien is neither a cleric nor an academic theologian. But he is a wise and discerning Catholic layman who has much to teach both the clerics and the theologians. There is absolutely nothing else out there that is like it." --Paul Lakeland, Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J., Professor of Catholic Studies, Fairfield University
