He also provides an extended explanation of Divine love; and describes methods of conversion through prayer, submission, and purification. ..."the most faithful [translation] that has appeared in any European language: it is, indeed, much more than a translation for [Peers] added his own valuable historical and [critically interpretive] notes."--"London Times."
