Reviews

'Norman Tanner is among the most distinguished historians writing on the councils of the church. This volume is particularly engaging because it deals with issues of great contemporary interest, such as the relationship of the councils to non-Christian religions and the councils treatment of the Eucharist. Lucid in style, it will be useful for specialists but accessible to the general reader. Highly recommended!' - John W. O'Malley, University Professor, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA
