I think this may answer your question. "Paul Shepard is one of the truly great prophets of our time. Like that of many of the great prophets of the past, his message has been too removed from the dominant intellectual and cultural world of his own time to receive a widespread hearing. But those of us who have heard, and who have, in some measure at least, understood, have had our eyes opened and been forced to see our world in a profoundly different way. And gradually that new way of looking is spreading." John B. Cobb, Jr.
