Críticas:

"This book is not just an insightful analysis of clerical mysteries, but a joyous celebration of them."--Arthur P. Boers, "Religious Book Journal" "Just as God once put the mysteries of the world right for man, and the modern-day fictional detective restores order to a chaotic world of unreasoning crime, William Spencer makes sense out of a variety of fiction that is becoming increasingly popular. This is an important book for those interested not only in the mystery genre but in the nature of modern-day protagonists."Robin Winks, Yale University" "This work is astute, careful, and probing. Spencer is like a coroner who dissects the body inch by inch to see exactly what done her in. "Lois Sibley, "The Christian Century""If you take more than a passing interest in the mystery and crime genre, this is a book for you."Roger Miller, "The Milwaukee Journal"" "This book is not just an insightful analysis of clerical mysteries, but a joyous celebration of them."Arthur P. Boers, "Religious Book Journal"" "This work is astute, careful, and probing. Spencer is like a coroner who dissects the body inch by inch to see exactly what 'done her in.' "--Lois Sibley, "The Christian Century""If you take more than a passing interest in the mystery and crime genre, this is a book for you."--Roger Miller, "The Milwaukee Journal"
