...Thomas Aquinas. As Thomas had found in Aristotle a philosophical basis for reconciling man's reason and Christian faith, so Maritain, in half a lifetime of philosophical study, brought a rejuvenated Thomism into a modern age of skepticism and science. As the most original philosopher in the Neo-Scholastic movement, he developed an abstruse new theory of human knowledge that sought to unify all the sciences and subdivisions of philosophy in the pursuit of reality.

But even as churchgoing members of mainstream denominations, the new Pentecostalists keep their special spiritual exercises quite separate. The Roman Catholic Pentecostalists are currently...

Author Gendzier succumbs to what amounts to a left-wing psychic disorder in its own right: the compulsion to pursue and defend Fanon's reputation through increasingly irrelevant intricacies. She does this in a prose crippled by repetition and neo-Marxist jargon. Fanon himself quickly escapes her-and the reader is glad to follow him. · Horace Judson
