What People Are Saying

“In an era of widespread ecclesiological confusion, What Is the Church? is filled with clarity, charity, and discernment. Dr. Martin wears his learning lightly and shares it beguilingly in a book that is at the same time light for the intellect and music for the soul.”
Russell B. Shaw
Journalist and Author
“Like the Gospel, this book challenges us in our depths to receive the gift of God and to live it without compromise in the one ‘ place’ where that is possible—His Church.”
Archbiship Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M., Cap.
“Regis Martin’ s sheer zest for the English language is only the first of the delights of this book. The reader finds himself drawn into a glorious and scholarly (never pedantic, always agile) encomium on the ancient Church, from a massively orthodox point of view (Lumen Gentium is Martin’ s principle text). An added delight is that Martin has read, quite simply, everything, and brings it into vigorous play.”
Thomas Howard
Author of On Being Catholic and Evangelical is Not Enough
“Regis Martin is himself a gift to the Church. . . . I do not hesitate to endorse and recommend this work, which is a genuine contribution to the emerging, more accurate understanding of the teaching and accomplishment of the Second Vatican Council.”
Archbishop John J. Myers
Emeritus Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey
