Reviews

Communicating Catholicism: Rhetoric, Ecclesial Leadership, and the Future of the American Roman Catholic Diocese is an extraordinary, definitive, and comprehensive work that adheres to rigorous standards of scholarship and is an impressive, seminal contribution that is very highly recommended for seminary and academic library collections in general, and Roman Catholic Church supplemental studies reading lists in particular. Midwest Book Review


Communicating Catholicism: Rhetoric, Ecclesial Leadership, and the Future of the American Roman Catholic Diocese is an extraordinary, definitive, and comprehensive work that adheres to rigorous standards of scholarship and is an impressive, seminal contribution that is very highly recommended for seminary and academic library collections in general, and Roman Catholic Church supplemental studies reading lists in particular. * Midwest Book Review * Through an American lens, Maier examines the Church's unique position of fulfilling an unchanging supernatural commission of world-wide evangelization, in a constantly changing natural world.... In the case studies, Maier dissects each event and offers a critique and analysis of what went wrong and what went right.... Any diocesan communicator will be able to identify with these situations and perhaps be inspired to consider adopting a new, ongoing strategy of sophisticated diocesan institutional rhetoric, to prepare for the next `crisis', which will soon come. * Church, Communication and Culture *
