Editorial Reviews

Review

One of the virtues of The Encyclopedia of American Catholic History is that besides the mandatory list of important people, religious orders and geographic surveys, there is a good selection of issue-oriented articles, including ones on lay reception of official Catholic sexual ethics, Catholic-Jewish relations, academic freedom on Catholic campuses and a fascinating history of American Catholic spirituality.... The Encyclopedia of American Catholic History is a splendid achievement. The choice of entries is thoughtful, creative and comprehensive. The articles are high quality, written by top scholars and embody the most recent research. The encyclopedia will be an essential acquisition for any academic library, for anyone working seriously in the field or simply for buffs who enjoy random strolls through nugget-strewn groves. -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Charles R. Morris

5.0 out of 5 stars Catholicism in America, February 11, 2000
Just about anything you ever wanted to know about Catholicism in the American experience. Very scholarly. Articles include a history of the Church in every state, major figures that impacted the Church and American society. Copies of letters and speeches from notables such as President Kennedy. Statements from the American bishops on war, poverty, and justice. I even found the article on the Church and slavery to be eye opening. Lists of population figures and brief summaries of Catholic institutions of higher learning. Some of the articles deal with all of the "Americas" which puts the US Church in perspective with the rest of the American hemisphere.
