""As an admirer of Professor Kort's other well-known, indeed groundbreaking works on biblical interpretations and literary theory, I was partly but still not fully prepared for the originality of his interpretation of theological positions in terms of discourse analysis and rhetorical analysis.

He provides a model that demonstrates why differences and conflicts, rather than occasional or peripheral effects of theology, are required as central causes. He then applies the analysis and model in the task of reading theologies of more than a dozen modern and contemporary figures.
