Gordon L. Heath is Associate Professor of Christian History at McMaster Divinity College, and serves as Director of the Canadian Baptist Archives. He is the author of 'A War with a Silver Lining: Canadian Protestant Churches and the South African War, 1899-1902' (2009), 'Doing Church History' (2008), and co-author with Stanley E. Porter of 'The Lost Gospel of Judas: Separating Fact from Fiction' (2007).

It would be unfortunate if this comprehensive and well-written collection of essays were seen only as rectifying an omission for students of Canadian religion. For those with an interest, historical or conteporary, in how churches respond to international conflict, make ethical decisions in a crisis, or engage with the government, Canadian Churches and the First World War offers many valuable insights.
