Reviews

The books's style is simple, communicative, understandable and direct. Since the language used lacks unnecessary jargon and technical terms, it is a great pleasure to read. [...] As a pastoral theologian, I strongly recommend this important book, which provides an insightful way of articulating how the religious experience is linked to tradition and national identity. I also recommend this book to those who are willing to search for new insights that may prove to be fruitful when examining the religious experience of other countries and peoples. (Elzbieta Osewska, The Person and the Challenges 3, 2013/1)
