Praise for John L. Allen, Jr.
THE FUTURE CHURCH
“John Allen is the English-speaking world’s most informed, most insightful and most balanced commentator on the Roman Catholic Church today. Allen consistently offers richly textured reportage that refuses to opt for the superficial take on church events. His extensive travels across the globe, his years cultivating relationships among theologians, local church leaders and Vatican officials, his genuine curiosity regarding the manifold factors, apparent and hidden, that shape church events-all have uniquely equipped him to produce his most recent volume…..Allen’s book offers the reader a compelling account of the challenges and possibilities that lie before the Catholic Church in this still young century. Those who are invested in its future will find it an indispensable resource.” -America
“A thoughtful, well-argued, well-written book.” -Winnepeg Free Press
