"John has written a book which is deeply challenging and brings to bear a coherent theological approach, with clinical background and understanding, to an issue that has touched many of us, and is one of the great issues of our society. He has done the church and our country a huge service.' -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury.

"John Swinton has produced a masterpiece, exploring the many dimensions of dementia. Here is pastoral theology at its best – careful, sensitive, clear, searching, insight and with an integrated theology that supports good care. I warmly commend it to the widest possible readership.' -- James Woodward, Principal of Sarum College

"John Swinton has clearly become the premier pastoral theologian of our time.

Dementia: Living in the Memories of God will become a classic.' -- Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School 

"In this clearly written and accessible volume, Swinton incorporates the best insights of contemporary psychological approaches to human memory and dementia care into a biblically grounded theology." -- Joanna Collicutt, Ripon College Cuddesdon
