Revue de presse :

"The resolutely local and practical orientation of the volume, as well as its effective and accessible survey, commend it for a broad readership...neither the facts of religious diversity nor the specific texture of the American situation lend themselves to straightforward, coherent assessments. So Tilley and his students offer a more authentic response: a complex, even messy conversation, beginning in their 2006 seminar, culminating in this 2007 book, and intended to continue in other U.S. classrooms. Were I teaching in the U.S., I would seriously consider using this text to facilitate precisely such messy conversations." - (Reid B. Locklin, Catholic Books Review, 2009)
