“Matteo Binasco’s French Missionaries in Acadia/Nova Scotia, 1654–1755: On a Risky Edge is a much-needed, comprehensive, English-language overview of French missionary endeavour … . The book also offers a detailed account of the heated interplay between the Recollets, the Diocese of Quebec, and other religious congregations … . Each chapter is supported by hundreds of endnotes, which is a testimony to the historical master detective at work here.” (Mark G. McGowan, Church History, Vol. 92 (3), September, 2023)
