"I think of Tomas Halik as I think of C.S. Lewis, Thomas Merton
and Henri Nouwen - a rare combination of intellect along with an
uncommon commitment never to betray the gene that unites us all as
children of God."
- Doris Donnelly, professor of religious studies at John
Carroll University in Cleveland and director Cardinal Suenens
Center for Theology & Church Life
