In offering well-researched, nuanced and thoughtful insight into the intimate but ever changing connections between religion, family, domesticity in various sites of European Christianity, this collection deepens understanding of the tenacity and varieties of religion centered in the home. And as with any solid contribution it opens up new areas for reflection and comparison.Religion and Gender. 6(2), pp.336–338. DOI: http://doi.org/10.18352/rg.10193
