Delving into the rich and diverse documents of American Catholic history, editors Anne M. Butler, Michael E. Engh, and Thomas W. Spalding combined their expertise to create The Frontiers and Catholic Identities. The title and documents reflect the editors' extensive backgrounds in Catholic history and history of the American West. Utilizing a multiple-lens approach to both Catholic identities and American frontiers, the editors wisely avoid a static, monolithic portrait of people or place. This important book is part of a nine-volume series created to update Catholic historiography since the mid-century publication of John Tracy Ellis's three-volume work, Documents of American Catholic History (Milwaukee, 1956). |
