Nándor Dreisziger is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at the Royal Military College of Canada and a founding editor of Hungarian Studies Review.

"Church and Society in Hungary and the Hungarian Diaspora offers extraordinary breadth in discussing Hungarian churches, taking the long view on history, while at the same time, weaving this narrative around the key themes of power and identity…[This book] offers an exceptional historical narrative to understand the grand transformation of churches, and it challenges the reader to reconsider the impacts of historical and cultural dynamics behind it."

Graeme Murdock:

‘A rich account of religious life of Hungary and of Hungarian speaking communities… This text is presented with admirable clarity and illustrated with interesting details about prominent church men and local communities.’

Robert Nemes:

‘With its global reach and wide sweep of history, this book offers a rich resource and intelligent meditation on the Hungarians and their churches.’

Paul Shore:

‘This book imparts a great deal of information, and succeeds overall in situating Hungarians and their connection to Christianity in a global context.’

C.P. Vesei:

‘Dreiszeger breaks new ground with this ambitious chronicle of the history of church life in Hungary and Hungarian communities throughout the world. This is no small feat, given the complicated shifts in Hungary’s borders during 1000 plus years of turbulent history… Highly recommended.’

Tibor Frank, Professor of History, Eötvös Loránd University :

"This is the first serious effort to discuss the state of the Hungarian Christian Churches worldwide and thus a pioneering work. At last an accomplished author examines the whole, long history and complex current state of affairs of a global phenomenon."

Dr. Thomas L. Sakmyster, Professor Emeritus, Department of History, University of Cincinnati :

"Dreisziger’s work is notable for its breadth, evenhandedness, and impeccable scholarship. The author skillfully guides his readers through the complex history of the Christian churches in the Hungarian lands from Roman days to the present time. Roughly equal attention is given to religious developments in the Hungarian diaspora, especially in Europe and North America but with some attention given even to Latin America, Australia, and South Africa. This book is the best and most comprehensive on this topic in any language, and is all the more valuable because of the insights it also offers into Hungarian history in general."
