"Dickinson describes powerfully how theological meaning needs to be translated from and into modern experiences of brokenness, alienation, hope, and redemption in fresh, relevant, and profound ways. He succeeds admirably with sensitivity and nuance in showing the complexity of how autobiography can vivify theological reflection, inviting a radical generosity toward the 'other.'" --Brian W. Hughes, University of Saint Mary, KS "Theologically rich while gently and lucidly composed, this is a work attuned to our pluralist age, which still yearns for meaning and connection, even if awash in many false hopes and expectations. Highly recommended!" --Peter Admirand, Dublin City University "In Theology as Autobiography , Dickinson brings his intellectual acumen to bear in a carefully woven, textured exploration of what it means to seek and live faith. A must-read for anyone who cares about the truth of faith that is catholic, incarnational, and embodied in real relationships." --Phyllis H. Kaminski, Saint Mary's College, IN "The consummate facility with Continental philosophy and theology found in Colby's other works is here pressed into service to interpret the dance between theology and the embodied struggle to live life--between faith and doubt.

We need this grounded, practical--but theoretically rich--reflection like a desert needs water." --Christopher A. Haw, University of Scranton.
