Reviews

“Indispensable for early modern historians, global historians and scholars of religious history alike.” David Onnekink, Utrecht University. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 70, No. 2 (April 2019), pp. 363–365. “Aiming and succeeding at being an all-encompassing companion to the early modern Catholic global missions, this collection of essays is a relevant and valuable book to help us better understand this theme in a holistic way.” Alexandra Curvelo, Universidade nova de Lisboa. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 6, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 166–169. “The Companion […] will be welcomed as a useful tool for scholars seeking to expand their understanding of mission history and for undergraduate students enrolled in world history courses. The global spread of Christianity was an integral part of the early modern period, and one that is better understood when historiographic silos are broken down. This is exactly what the Companion offers, and it does not disappoint.” Jason Dyck, Trent University Durham. In: Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. 42, No. 3 (Summer 2019), pp. 231–233.
