'This book offers a concise, yet considered, wide-ranging as well as refreshingly unanachronistic (and unpolemical) survey of a meeting whose outcomes have shaped the teaching and experience of being a member of the Roman Catholic Church for over four centuries. For that reason alone, this volume is to be welcomed, and its editor, the ever-attentive and eagle-eyed Nelson Minnich, warmly congratulated for bringing together and managing such a talented and well-qualified team of contributors to good effect.' Simon Ditchfield, Journal of Jesuit Studies
'[A] very successful introduction to the history of the Council and provides an understanding of what happened in Trent in an assembly that reshaped the face of Catholicism.' Mateo Al Kalak, The Catholic Historical Review
'Both seminary libraries and graduate programs in church history should stock this title, but it may also find a serious readership among diocesan ecumenical offices.' Patrick J. Hayes, Catholic Library World
