This work is laboriously documented and replete with historical detail that supports Phelan's thesis...The breadth and depth of his textual examination, including theological, liturgical, and political texts, make The Formation of Christian Europe an impressive work of historical scholarship. Yet Phelan's study of the sacramentum and the development of baptismal formation also makes his work useful to theologians. As such, his work holds a strong appeal across academic disciplines. * Sean Robertson, Reading Religion * lucidly organized and thoroughly researched. Indeed, it serves as a model of its kind ... With this admirable contribution to the scholarly literature on the Carolingian era, a reader can find little to quarrel ... there is no fault in this work's worthy substance. * Daniel J. Heisey, Ecclesia orans *
