Reviews

'This book is of interest to anyone concerned with religious pluralism in a Canadian context.... The methodological thoroughness of Benham Rennick is commendable, particularly for a civilian studying the military, with limited access to information and the limited amount of existing research on the role of religion in the Canadian armed forces.'--Kathleen A. Riddell Studies in Religion, vol 42:01:2013
