The Catholic Church and Russia

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This is the most important study ever written on Catholic-Russian relations. Dennis Dunn provides us with an extraordinarily detailed overview of one of the more complex relationships on the planet, namely the relationship between the Catholic Church and Russia. It is a road map to Russia's past and future and offers cogent insight into the problems of modernization that confront all societies. It also shows where the Church made mistakes and missed opportunities. It is an extremely valuable study.' John McCarthy, Bishop Emeritus of Austin, Texas. 'The Catholic Church in Russia is growing and this has led to increased tensions in Russia at this present time. Dennis Dunn's book places the situation in an historical context and gives his own ideas as to the way forward.' Keith Patrick, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland. 'Dennis Dunn has answered the longstanding need for a reliable history of the Catholic Church in Russia with a well-researched book in ten brief chapters packed with the essential facts...this is a ground-breaking study which will clearly be the standard reference work on this subject for some time to come.' The Tablet '...the most comprehensive work published to date on the history of Russia's relations with the Catholic Church into the 21st century...Recommended...' Choice '... an interesting, very informative and scholarly book - and does give unusual insights into Russian history and politics.' The East West Review '... a solid piece of research and writing that will become the standard account of the political history of Catholicism in Russia.' Church History
