Editorials

Anne Carr

This new edition of Catholicism exhibits all the virtues of past editions. Written with biblical, historical and ecumenical sensitivities, the work is remarkable for its vast scope, its nuanced discussion of complex issues, and its jargon-free economy.

Elizabeth A. Johnson

[Catholicism]...now commendably contains developments of the past decade from papal teaching to liberation and feminist theologies.

Eugene Kennedy

Seldom are masterpieces improved on...[but] this new edition must be hailed as a great triumph in its own right.

George L. Carey

Professor McBrien's impressive Catholicism is already well known to the ecumenical world. This new and complete revision will again be a major source of information regarding the Roman Catholic Church.

Gerald O'Collins

The clearest and most competent guide in the English language to the Catholic Church's origins, teaching, traditions, and developments.

Mary C. Boys

A vital resource for grasping the dynamism of Catholicism.

Nicholas Lash

No less indispensable now than was its predecessor.

Thomas H. Groome

Now McBrien has even surpassed his previous achievement, and has ensured the continued service of this modern classic.
