"These Companions are go-to resources for teaching and research: they gather the latest scholarship on a huge range of authors, themes, and places in medieval and early modern Europe." - Ann Blair,
Harvard University
"The Brill Companions have already established themselves as the ‘go to’ resource for students and academics who are looking not only for informed evaluation of the latest research as well as indications of the most up-to-date literature on a particular theme and topic, but also for the stimulus to re-evaluate their significance. Collectively they offer both encyclopaedic breadth as well as interpretative depth of treatment." - Simon Ditchfield, University of York
"The range of the Companions’ topics is impressive. Each volume offers an immensely useful series of articles which contrive to be both authoritative surveys and independent interpretations." - Rosamond McKitterick, University of Cambridge
"The Brill Companions offer sure-footed guides to key issues in Christian and European history, useful for newcomers to a topic and for anyone seeking insights into recent research. Conceptualized and written by the leading scholars in a field, they are indispensable sources of information on fundamental issues and debates." - Merry Wiesner-Hanks, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
"The Brill Companions to the Christian Tradition have established themselves as indispensable guides for those who study and teach medieval and early modern Christian history. Written by leading specialists, they present and evaluate superbly the persons, movements, and schools that have shaped the intellectual and religious life of Europe." - Gerald O'Collins, SJ, emeritus professor Gregorian University (Rome)
" Brill’s Companions to the Christian Tradition has made major contributions to the study of the history of Christianity for well over a decade now, presenting cutting-edge scholarship on a host of significant figures and movements over many centuries." - Bernard McGinn, University of Chicago
"Since its initiation in 2006, [this series] has established itself as a major reference point for scholars working on Christian history. The volumes offer comprehensive reviews of the state of play in a specific field of research without sacrificing quality and originality in their contributions." - Norman Housley, University of Leicester, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 62, No. 2 (April 2011), pp. 385-386
"Excellent series" - Michael C. Voigts, Asbury Theological Seminary, in: Church History, Vol. 81, No. 3 (September 2012), p. 671
