'"...the laws of Caesar are different from the laws of Christ'. The book by Reynolds is a scholarly contribution to mapping out this difference."' Robert Ombres OP, "", 1995. '"La creation d'une liturgie de noces a l'epoque carolingienne aurait fortement contribue a la consolidation de cette theologie."' "I.Z.B.G.", 1993-1994. '"...Reynolds...has presented a very valuable survey with a plenitude of detailed insights and information."' Bernd Wannenwetsch, "Studies in Christian Ethics". '"Reynolds' account of Augustine and the Western tradition is balanced and fair-minded. It should become the standard English survey of legal developments in the patristic and early medieval periods...Reynolds has produced a compilation of Western materials which is likely to remain unsurpassed for some time to come."' David G. Hunter, "Theological Studies", 1995. '"...well-written, thorough and illuminating book..."' Roger Wright, "Early Medieval Europe", 1996. '"...Dr. Reynold has performed a notable service in exemplary fashion."' C.N.L. Brooke, "Journal of Theological Studies", 1996. '"This is a very important work it is a necessary source for any serious study of the history of Christian marriage."'
