"The book's main contribution thus lies less in its analysis of Lindbeck's and Frei's theology than in its suggestive insights as to what a liberal theology after postliberalism might look like". (The Journal of SJT, Volume 64/1, 2011) "The Trial of the Witnesses is a truly exciting book that points to new ways of conceiving of and doing theology, both in its disruption of the terms of the postliberal debate and in it modeling of a 'thicker' form of textual analysis." (The Journal of Religion,2009) "DeHart's The Trial of the Witnesses is both the most profound analysis to date of the so-called 'Yale School,' and a brilliant attempt to rehabilitate the distinctive theological approach of Hans Frei. But, more than that, it is also a highly suggestive and illuminating constructive proposal in its own right." (Faith and Theology) "DeHart sees postliberalism as a river whose future is in the many smaller streams of the delta it formed. Others may regard the very idea of a genuine and contained school of thought at Yale as overblown or parochial, seeing this school's contributions as part of a much bigger river flowing through 20th-century theology." (Choice) "Engaging and insightful exploration.... Vivid presentation of... both cultural and scholastic contexts. This book is valuable for scholars and graduate students alike."
