Recenzii

"Michael Walsh is a learned, lucid and insightful guide to grasping the wonders and complexities of Roman Catholicism. He is thoughtfully aware of critical issues faced by the tradition. It would be difficult to find a better short introductory book. This new edition is to be welcomed."
Gavin D'Costa, University of Bristol, UK
"Walsh’s book is practical, nuanced, and easy to read. He writes with a good sense for history which enables him to contextualize his narrative, explaining how Roman Catholics may differ from other Christians on a particular issue or teaching, and he is critical about historical claims without being dismissive. (...) Walsh’s book gives a fine overview of the basics of Roman Catholic faith, life, and Church. Those unfamiliar with Catholicism will find it very helpful."
Thomas P. Rausch, SJ, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, USA
