Recensioner i media

The Guardian "It is one of the special merits of the book that while it is the result of prolonged and specialized study, it is completely within the grasp of the intelligent layman." Church Times "Dr. Rowley is a match for anyone working in Great Britain today. His book abounds in original and sometimes daring suggestions which make it a valuable contribution to history, and which, incidentally, make more widely accepted theories look rather silly"
