Critics Review

”… exemplary in its clarity and comprehensiveness and will easily count as the standard treatment in the subject for years to come.” Times Literary Supplement

”[Cameron’s] command of the difficult and controversial evidence is masterly throughout this study, and his grasp of the ideas which formed the movement, and the different approaches of the new Protestantism, is outstanding. This book will provide a starting-point for future study of the Waldenses.” Journal of Theological Studies

“A scholarly account ranging from the late twelfth century to the Reformation…” Missiology: An International Review

“Waldenses is a lucid, nuanced, and intelligent assesment of the history of this diverse group of medieval dissenters…. Cameron’s assesments are penetraing and sound… [the book] should find its way onto the bookshelves of many scholars and students interested in medieval religious cultures.” Shannon McSheffrey, Concordia University
