âGrounded in a thorough mastery of scholarly literature on eighteenth-century French theatre, McMahanâs study ingeniously interprets Luigi Riccoboni and his troupe as theatrical migrants who used comedy as a means of cultural diplomacy. . . McMahanâs innovative approach to
commedia dellâarte as a âtransnational brandâ offers a robust contribution to Theatre and Performance Studies scholarship.â (âDaniel Smith, Michigan State University, USA)
âIn bringing to the attention of an Anglophone audience a neglected theatrical figure, McMahan performs his own act of translational border crossing, which is revealing not just about its subject, but also about the value of critical work that itself moves fruitfully across all sorts of national, disciplinary, and temporal borders.â (âJessica Goodman, St. Catherineâs College, Oxford, UK)
As a young man with a passionate love for Jesus, many of my dearest family and friends asked me difficult questions about Christianity. Because of these conversations, I felt compelled to resolve existential questions. Perhaps my supposed faith in God was no more than an outdated fairytale? Due to these pressures, I constantly studied and discussed apologetics with mentors and friends.

Can Man Live Without God? had persuaded me that atheism was an untenable position.
