Reviews - What do our customers think?
An Instant Classic  Dec 21, 2005
Cyprian Davis, a Benedictine monk and a professor of church history, has penned an instant classic with his work "The History of Black Catholics in the United States." It is clearly a balanced book written without bias or rancor. Davis is also a precise scholar with a plethora of original resources at his beck and call. Additionally, he is an interesting writer, which, sad to say, is not always true of historians. If you are interested in Black Catholicism in America, particularly it's history, this is a wonderfully written, well document resource.

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., author of "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," and "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."
