What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A book which is of interest not only to students of French history but also anyone who wishes to study and understand the development and decline of European Christianity in the last two centuries.' - Dom Aidan Bellenger, The Downside Review

'This will be the book on the subject...It is based on a great deal of the author's own primary research on the topic, and draws on an enormous body of secondary sources. It is very well written, and is an exercise in a humane kind of social history.' - Professor Colin Jones, University of Warwick
