Religious Studies Review

This is one of the best introductions to Whitehead's philosophy in print. This book will not only inform new students but will also enlighten seasoned scholars of Whitehead's work. Going beyond simple exposition, Hosinski's expert use of examples and illustrations clarifies Whitehead's neologisms and obscurities.

The Expository Times

Thanks to Hosinski serious students no longer have an excuse that making sense of Whitehead's metaphysics is beyond them.

Theological Studies

At last, however, we have in Hosinski's fine book an exceptional approachable introduction to process thought, and one especially apt for those who wish to examine its theological possibilities.
