Critics Review
Provide[s] scholarly assessments of the impact of the Council’s work in subsequent years.– Choice
“The Long Shadow of Vatican II will take its place as one of the most intelligent assessments of the Council’s effect on its fiftieth anniversary. It successfully locates the Council in the history of not only the 1960s but its turbulent and unpredictable aftermath.” – John McGreevy, University of Notre Dame
“A fascinating study of conciliar reception in material culture… . Combine[s] conventional theological scholarship with more empirical and ethnographic sources to demonstrate the ambiguity and promise of the Council for the Church today.” – Catholic Historical Review
“An important analysis of the Roman Catholic Church in the modern world, the Church’s impact on the world, and vice versa.” – Library Journal
“Provide[s] scholarly assessments of the impact of the Council’s work in subsequent years.” – CHOICE
