"David Burrell's new book is as succinct as it is weighty, as clear as it is challenging. Knowing the Unknowable God is an exercise in an almost forgotten genre-ecumenical philosophical theology. ... the author's perspective suggests how richly rewarding the renewal of such conversations might be for current philosophical theology among Jews, Christians, and Muslims."

--Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago

" ... brings out the importance of interfaith and transcultural communication of medieval philosophy.... Burrell's discussion of the logic of attribution is very relevant to contemporary philosophy of God. This brief but profound little book should be of interest to philosophers whose interests extend beyond medieval philosophy."

--International Philosophical Quarterly
