Críticas:

beautiful anthology (Catholic Times)

This Oxford anthology is... not only a major event in publishing, but a rich and welcome resource... The editors have put us in their debt by providing so much to surprise and delight, and deepen our appreciation of a rich inherited tradition (Eamon Duffy, The Tablet)

This volume brings together a large number of inspirational texts ... The putting together of this anthology has obviously been a labour of love. ... Anyone who wants a thumbnail sketch of the inner story of the English Catholic literature would do well to read in their totality the three historicaloverviews which introduce the main sub-divisions of the book. (Aidan Nichols, Catholic Herald)

An Anthology of Writings from 1483 to 1999
Firmly I Believe and Truly celebrates the depth and breadth of the spiritual, literary, and intellectual heritage of the Post-Reformation English Roman Catholic tradition in an anthology of writings that span a five hundred year period between William Caxton and Cardinal Hume. Intended as a rich resource for all with an interest in Roman Catholicism, the writings have been carefully selected and edited by a team of scholars with historical, theological, and literary expertise. Each author is introduced to provide context for the included extracts and the chronological arrangement of the anthology makes the volume easy to use whilst creating a fascinating overview of the modern era in English Catholic thought. The extracts comprise a wide variety writing genres; sermons, prayers, poetry, diaries, novels, theology, apologetics, works of controversy, devotional literature, biographies, drama, and essays.
