R. John Elford is an Anglican Clergyman with experience in pastoral and academic life who is widely published in the subjects discussed.

«The author of 'The Pastoral Nature of Theology 'and 'The Ethics of Uncertainty' has written his most thought-provoking book yet. It is a radical revisiting of the Christian drama and an important contribution to the New Atheists debate. John Elford will disturb, stimulate and fascinate in this work which brings together his thought.» (The Very Rev d. Dr Ian Markham, Dean and President Virginia Theological Seminary.)
«This is the theology of a distinguished academic leader, a country vicar and pioneer of urban regeneration, as crafted by the probing questions of generations of young people.» (Professor Simon Lee, Emeritus Professor of Jurisprudence, Queen's University, Belfast.)
« [...] an important contribution to the place and plausibility of religion in the modern world.» (John Saxbee, Church Times, 25 April 2014)
«The book moves seamlessly from critical examination to positive affirmation with regard to Christianity and Modernity. It shows how the Christian understanding of life can be lived responsibly and meaningfully. It is rich with a detailed presentation of different philosophies, religious teachings, and historical facts along with theology. Elford's effort to contribute in a productive union between Christianity and modernity needs to be acclaimed by philosophers and theologians of the present time in an era that seems to harbinger the terminal decline for religion in general, and for the Christian faith specifically.» (Romero D'Souza, Theological Book Review 26.1, 2014)
