Editorial Reviews
Review
--Daniel Sheard, Assistant Professor, John W. Rawlings School of Divinity, Liberty University
"In his book, Rise of French Laïcité, Stephen Davis has done what few Anglophones have dared to attempt, address and translate a unique French concept--laïcité--for the non-French. In so doing, Davis provides painstaking details as to how and why an understanding of history must inform contemporary social, cultural, and missional engagement."
--Richard Kronk, Assistant Professor of Global Ministries, Toccoa Falls College; former church planter in France (1995-2013)
"Who can understand La Laïcité à la Française? Often mistranslated, almost always misunderstood, Davis's historical, sociological, and missiological work meticulously clarifies this complex and fundamental trait of French society. A must-read for all gospel workers who venture onto French soil!"
--Raphael Anzenberger, Director, RZIM France
"This is an excellent and insightful summary of the history of laïcité in France since the Reformation. I strongly recommend it for missionaries in their second to fourth year in France. . . . This book will help them understand the French values and how to better share the gospel in light of these values."
--David R. Dunaetz, Book Review Editor, Evangelical Missions Quarterly
"Stephen Davis has written an important historical study on the rise of secularism (laïcité) in France. From the domination of the Roman Catholic Church at the Reformation to its separation from the state in 1905, the road was long and rocky. Constitutionally strengthened in 1946 and 1958, laïcité is being challenged today by the rapid growth of Islam, France's second largest religion, and its pursuit of recognition in the public space. A truly engaging story."
--Jeff Straub, author of The Making of a Battle Royal: The Rise of Religious Liberalism in Northern Baptist Life, 1870-1920
