This delightful little book seeks to rescue humility as a key moral virtue. * Church Times * Bellitto has written a delightful and eminently accessible book on humility, aptly described as a ""cultural history and biography"" of humility. * Theological Studies * If only more people in our society would read this book and take to heart these final premises Bellitto outlines, perhaps humility could be restored to its rightful place among the virtues and save us from ourselves. * Magistra * There is a timeliness about this volume, slim in size, but deep in wisdom. * Irish Theological Quarterly * This book is a jewel in a number of senses....This is a book for everyone, and a book to challenge the drift of our world away from a proper learned ignorance into an uncontrolled, undisciplined destructive arrogance and hubris. * THEOLOGY * Like the little virtue it espouses, this volume packs a punch and deserves a careful read. * Religious Studies Review-MS 156 *
