Media Reviews
This is not the easiest of reads and is certainly not bed time reading, for the quality of the contributors and the importance of the subject make it a book that repays an investment of time. Church of Ireland Gazette, Leslie Stevenson, 11th February 2005
'In almost every chapter there are things to ponder and often new insights. I am already recommending this book to students in the hope that it will deepen their understanding of the nature of sacraments and also help those for sacraments are not currently a key feature in their spirituality to appreciate and appropriate them...this is a much needed book and it deserves to be widely read.' Charles Read, Theology, 1 May 2006--Sanford Lakoff Theology
'In 2003 an international ecumenical consultation under the heading 'Sacrament and Sacramentality' was held at Windsor, England. This book brings together the papers read on that occasion and makes them available to a wider public.' Raymond Moloney, SJ, Irish Theological Quarterly--Sanford Lakoff Irish Theological Quarterly
