Reviews
'For theologians interested in the history of sacramental theology, this monograph is a [must-read] ... Philip L. Reynolds is an historical theologian and here he gives a masterly and accessible demonstration of what the his torical theologian does and why he does it ... One of the great, perhaps unintended, benefits of [Reynolds'] monograph is that it contributes vast theological data and analysis to demonstrate yet one more time doctrinal development in the Catholic Church ... this is a carefully researched and meticulously detailed history of the theology of the sacrament of marriage.' Michael G. Lawler, Marriage, Families and Spirituality
'No medievalist can afford to ignore this book, which is a truly magisterial achievement, worthy of the highest praise.' Alastair Minnis, Medium AEvum
