Críticas:
"Margaret Milesa , The Word Made Flesh, is a monumental work, the fruit of decades of her teaching and scholarship. The particular contributions of this volume are recognition of the importance of art, architecture and music and the integration of new scholarship on women in Christian intellectual history. This work will become indispensable for introductory courses on western Christian thought from Justin Martyr to Kant." Rosemary Radford Ruether, Graduate Theological Union "To the student of Christianity, Miles offers something truly rare -- a history text that is hard to put down." Kathleen Sands, University of Massachusetts "Margaret Miles gives us a picture of the whole thinking, breathing, gendered ecclesial body. The history of Christian thought and the social and cultural history of Christians cannot, after Miles, be readily chronicled apart from one another. Attempts to do so will likely be found wanting in comparison with this monumental work." William McDonald, Tennessee Wesleyan College "Miles' insistence on exploring the history of Christian thought beyond texts and quotations makes the book invaluable; she may well have established the new paradigm for teaching, requiring one to not only read through Christian thought, but to listen and to see the development of Christian thought as well." Reviews in Religion and Theology "Miles succeeds on every level and the books should be used widely in introductory courses." Reviews in Religion and Theology
