Recenzje

'Hilary Carey has fashioned a pathbreaking narrative of the complex history of British Christianity in the settler colonies. Notable for its breadth, God's Empire provides an accomplished comparative and statistical analysis of the work of every major British denomination along with a valuable account of the colonial work of the English Benedictines. It will be of special interest to historians of religion and colonial history alike.' Jeffrey L. Cox, Professor of History, University of Iowa
