“I found Cloutier’s book Love, Reason, and God’s Story: An Introduction to Catholic Sexual Ethics to be faithful to the Church tradition while also having some of the ‘cool’ factor that college students enjoy.”

"I am very happy with Jesus in the Gospels and Acts: Introducing the New Testament and plan to use it again in the fall. Students found it readable and accessible.  The content is in every way ecumenical and reflects the consensus of biblical scholarship without any trace of doctrinal bias. This text will work in almost any university classroom.  It doesn’t ignore the more esoteric scholarly debates, but focuses on what really matters in an undergraduate religion course. I recommend it without reservation.”

"Encountering Ancient Voices [First Edition] has been the most effective Old Testament introduction I have used. More than most introductions, it propels students into the biblical text itself, guiding their study by both essential information and stimulating questions. It becomes a textbook students cannot ignore, yet which never replaces the Bible."

"There are two things that I particularly like about this book, and that raise it above the average Intro to Theology book. First, the book invites students to use the library and find the sources for further research. I think that this is especially needed in a time in which students are not willing to rise from their seats and computer screens, thinking that everything can be found through the internet. Second, it broadens the horizon of the students by including chapters on Judaism, Islam, and Catholic Theology in a Global Context."

"[A major strength of the glossary is] ease of use. The layout of the pages is nonintimidating to freshmen . . . with its short definitions and clear print. I also liked that reference was made to the Catechism . . . . It was also quick to use so we could easily use it in class for a definition of a term we came upon."

"In Catholic university education, one can no longer assume the common language of these terms, particularly in required theology classes. This text provides a handy introduction to a number of these terms, both for advanced theological work and for basic information. I believe this work is an essential step in once again creating a common language among undergraduate theology students."

“An Introduction to Health Care Ethics provides a solid basic text in the field and is particularly helpful in integrating a religious perspective into bioethics in a way that invites deeper dialogue. It is very readable, but does not sacrifice intellectual depth in being accessible.”

"[First Edition] I can't wait to use [this text] in the classroom. . . . One strength is those sections that discuss the specific details and background of the biblical passages students are to read. . . . Another strength is the many sidebars and 'In Case You Were Wondering' sections. I can't tell you how helpful the information given in these sections is, and how helpful it is to have this material in these sorts of separate sections."

"Excellent introductory essays: these essays bring together, in concise, friendly language, all of the essential points that need to be communicated: especially the opening essays on how the Bible came to be, genre, historical context, the meaning of revelation and inspiration, and the canon of Scripture.   I also greatly appreciated the map, unique to the College Study Bible, which shows the present-day political situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. The importance of this issue cannot be overstated. Please keep that map in all your future editions!"

"I've read it in manuscript: now I want the book! Here is theology earthed. Celia plants the planet firmly within the providence of God. This book is popular in its appeal and scholarly in its depth. It connects with the environmental agenda and stretches the reader to reach new heights of understanding on this vitally important subject."

"Effective feminist writing at its best is informative, well researched, thought-provoking without being aggressive, and persuasive through its use of reason. This book is all these things, besides being the product of a deep understanding of English literature and beautifully written."
