| | Amazon.com: Models of the Church: Books: Avery Dulles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30) |
 | | Dulles does not claim to write for the lay (in the sense of non-academic, rather than non-clergy) reader, but this book actually is in clear, concise, non-technical prose that nearly anyone should grasp. |
 | | Avery Dulles, by the way, is the son of former Secretary of State (under Eisenhower) John Foster Dulles, was raised a Presbyterian, became an agnostic by his teens, turned into a religious "seeker" while an undergrad at Harvard, then entered the Roman Catholic Church and later the Jesuit order after graduating. |
 | | Dulles recently was named a cardinal, in recognition of his work as a theologian. |
