"This is a remarkable book... it can function as a synthesis of the
best studies for upper-division undergraduates or graduate
students. It is so well researched and argued that even though it
asks the reader to accept yet one more period as revolutionary, it
is entirely convincing." History: Reviews of New Books


"A volume which is consistently intelligent and stimulating, not
least because it draws on the insights of social anthropology and
of other periods and places in history than its own ... it is the
essence of a good book that it should open the reader's mind and
sharpen his arguments. By that token this is assuredly a good
book." Ecclesiastical History
