Does not meet WP:NBOOK. Only sources are a review and a passing reference. Lightly cited. Tgeairn (talk) 05:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge into Michael Langone. Uncle Ed (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - I see a couple references to substantial reviews in the piece as it sits; simple GNG pass here, in my estimation. Carrite (talk) 19:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Multiple reviews are present. Meets WP:NBOOKS.--Skr15081997 (talk) 16:06, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - One of the two reviews is a review by Langone (the compiler / editor of the book in question).  The criteria explicitly excludes sources "where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book". --Tgeairn (talk) 18:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No, no, no, no. The reviewer is Saliba. Langone is listed as the author of the work. It is entirely misleading having his name there, and I will remove it. StAnselm (talk) 05:09, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ahhh! Excellent, thank you for that. --Tgeairn (talk) 05:21, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. 96 hits from Google Scholar, and multiple reviews from diverse publications (British Medical Journal, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Journal of Psychology & Theology, etc.) StAnselm (talk) 05:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Reviews of a book are the usual proof of notability.  DGG ( talk ) 05:44, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep the nom here has a history of calling anything that disagrees with his POV note notable.   and so on. Also, this is the 3rd attept to delete a book with 22 authors, some of whom are notable in their own right. A little silly to keep trying to delete over and over. Legacypac (talk) 09:13, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets criteria one and three of WP:NBOOK.  Mini  apolis  03:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
