Rezensionen

'This scholarly historical analysis of a British Christian elite searching, amidst the ruins of Christendom, for a 'United Europe', from 1945 to the present, is at the same time a stimulating contribution to current debate about Europe's 'soul' (or lack of one).' - Keith Robbins, Professor Emeritus, University of Wales, Lampeter, UK

'There is no doubt that this book is timely and provocative and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all scholars with an interest in law, sociology, history and religion.' - Javier Oliva, Ecclesiastical History
