About this book
Reviews
“The Church and the State in France combines archival research with a very useful synthesis of the considerable secondary literature in this field. As such, the work offers a solid overview of Church-State relations after 1789, though the narrative ends rather abruptly with the proclamation of the Third Republic in 1870.” (Laura O’Brien, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 71 (2), 2020)
