Reviews

Winner of the 1997 Howard R. Marraro Prize, American Catholic Historical Association This is a valuable book. Its prolific notes offers a rich texture of detail. Its seven chapters approach roughly the same subject matter from different angles, so that some readers may wish for a more chronological or more analytic approach, but given the complexity of the subject the method works well. --Theological Studies
