Review :
"This is one of the very best overall defences of Eliade's ideas I have read. The outstanding scholarly value of this work is that Rennie has very well done for Eliade what the latter did not, or could not, do. Rennie 's treatment of the so-called 'Hidden Theological Agenda' and the 'Ontological Assumptions' of Eliade are of crucial significance to the distinction of this work among others. A ll this is especially important in light of what has seemed a parade of would-be jack-the-giant-killers over the past two decades. The author has not only shown Eliade to be hard to dismiss among the great thinkers of the age on the subject of religion. Rennie has also practically transformed 'the Eliade problem' into 'the Eliade prospect'." -- Wendell Charles Beane, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
