Ecclesiastical Law Reviews

Hill's second edition takes its place fittingly and with an assured future in the long and distinguished line of legal literature relating to what might be broadly termed English canon law. It also marks and sustains a changing understanding of ecclesiastical law. Studia Canonica The book can be recommended without reservation as a standard and reliable text on the ecclesiastical law of the Church of England, essential to practitioners, academics and students. All the chapters are consistently good, although Hill's well-known mastery of case law makes the chapter on faculty jurisdiction especially compelling to read. Studia Canonica Hill's Ecclesiastical Law has moved rapidly from being a pioneering work on a neglected subject to becoming a standard textbook ... the author is ideally suited to the task of expounding the ecclesiastical law of the Church of England. Studia Canonica For anyone wanting to know the law of the Church of England, Mark Hill's book is an invaluable resource. It is both succinct and clear, sources are indicated and the materials at the end illustrate the manner in which the law is applied and precedent established. Newsletter of The Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland The commentaries are not only detailed and scholarly; they also make stimulating reading ... This reviewer gladly recommends the volume to those in the Church of England, and beyond. The publishers are also to be congratulated. It is an attractive book, well laid out, printed, and indexed. It deserves a wide readership. The Expository Times
