Reviews
"""This book is a must for all those engaged in any kind of work with young people for it shows a picture of the young Catholic world, at least in the developed world, that is far from comforting especially in view of the vastly changing social scene in the past decades which will only proceed at a fast pace in the future."" SOCIETY 2000 ""Might it be that measures of commitment and beliefs among young Catholics exposed to such programmes turn out to trump the corrosive effects of modernity? Now there is a follow-up research agenda worthy of the path-breaking directions taken in this excellent volume."" Patrick H McNamara, University of New Mexico USA Journal of Contemporary Religion 16 (2) 2001 ""This is one of several UCDP books...all of which are equally satisfactory in terms of editing, design and production. Quietly and without fuss in a few years and with the very minimum of staff, UCD has got itself a press to be proud of."" Books Ireland Sept 2000 ""this cross-national study collected a great mass of very rich material and deserves to be given proper attention as indicating the world-views of a significant group of young Catholics in Western societies today. It ought to be required reading for bishops and all concerned about evangelisation."" The Tablet Jan 2001"
