Appears not to pass Wikipedia:Notability (books). I tagged this page in August 2007 as needing third-party references, and still only a single review has been provided. (It's favourable, but doesn't seem to assert that the book is particularly important.) I can't find any reviews listed in the Google News archive, Books in Print, or the ATLA Religion Database. The author has no Wikipedia article. EALacey (talk) 18:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I checked Lexis Nexis and JSTOR and find no reviews. If a book has multiple reviews, especially in scholarly journals, then an encyclopedia article can usually be supported quite well... but that doesn't seem to be the case here. --Movingday29 (talk) 19:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Thank you for checking these sources. In the interest of fairness, I should point out that JSTOR's coverage lags behind publication by a few years (deliberately), so it isn't likely to include many reviews of books published in 2007 regardless of notability.

- Delete without prejudice to recreation, per DGG and the fact that this looks more like a book review than encyclopedia article. Jclemens (talk) 17:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No evidence of notability. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
