Rezension
Doch das Buch beeindruckt darin, dass sich die meisten Autoren an dem durch Vor- und Nachwort beschriebenen thematischen Rahmen orientieren und so ein organisches Ganzes entstanden ist, vergleichbar einer Pflanze, die ihre Wurzeln in unterschiedliche Bereiche des Bodens austreibt. Dr. Karl Vörckel, auf: rpp-katholisch.
