Congratulations to our journal co-editor, Thomas Rzeznik, and former co-editor, Maggie McGuinness, on the publication of their new edited volume -- The Cambridge Companion to American Catholicism. It contains 19 chapters, many of them written by scholars whose work will be familiar to regular readers of the journal. It's a phenomenal book, scholarly yet accessible to non-experts. We're delighted to see it in print.
