Rezensionen

"This collection ... includes a variety of essays examining religious change across Gaelic Scotland, Gaelic Ireland, Wales and Cornwall in the early modern period. ... it is a stimulating starting point and it will no doubt be beneficial to readers with a specific interest in Christianity in the Celtic world, as well as to those with a more general interest in the early modern period." (Russell Newton, The Innes Review, Vol. 68 (1), May, 2017)

"The title of this collection announces a project to understand the processes of enculturation of early modern versions of Christianity across a set of geographical zones described as 'celtic'. ... This might be an avenue for further investigation, aided by cultural anthropologists of a historical or archeological bent." (Thomas O'Connor, Studia Hibernica, Vol. 41, 2014)
