“Working with everyone at Notre Dame Press ensured that I was able to create a book I am not only proud of, but that ensures African women’s theology will have continuing reach and rich presence in Christian theological discourse. Notre Dame Press has created an opportunity for my work to make a lasting impact, and for this I am thankful!” —Oluwatomisin Olayinka Oredein, author of The Theology of Mercy Amba Oduyoye
“Since 1995, the University of Notre Dame Press has cultivated a thriving global community of scholars and readers through the William and Katherine Devers Series in Dante and Medieval Italian Literature. The Press’s excellence in the “Art and the Science” of scholarly publishing has been instrumental in establishing the Devers Series and Dante studies at Notre Dame as globally renowned and preeminent. By consistently publishing rigorous and thought-provoking scholarship, Notre Dame Press continues to provide leadership in medieval studies.” —Theodore J. Cachey Jr., co-editor of, most recently, Dante’s “Other Works”
“I’m honored to have published with Notre Dame Press, but, more than that, working with Notre Dame Press was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The great people at the press made every step of the process as smooth as possible. They were incredibly supportive, responsive, and professional. And I could not be more pleased with the finished product. They produced an absolutely beautiful volume that makes me twice as proud to display on my shelf. I will always be grateful to Notre Dame Press for publishing my first book!” —Daniel Mark, author of The Nature of Law
“The dynamic exchange of ideas, facts, history, belief and cultural diversity is essential to human well-being in the 21st century. The University is fortunate to have a world-class publishing operation that carries the institution’s moral, spiritual and intellectual vibrancy into these global conversations. And I have personally appreciated the fine work of the Press staff in producing books that also more directly and importantly examine Notre Dame’s character and community. Cheers and congratulations on this anniversary.” —Kerry Temple, co-author of This Place Called Notre Dame
“I am thrilled, and, to be honest, a bit awed, to have my work with a press that has published classics by John Henry Newman, Thomas Aquinas, Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, major works by celebrated contemporary theologians such as Stanley Hauerwas, Matthew Levering, Denys Turner, Tomáš Halík, and David Bentley Hart, and works by upcoming young scholars whose work I admire such as Anne M. Carpenter, Jennifer Newsome Martin, Grant Kaplan, and Andrew Prevot. UNDP has a reputation for producing excellent theological works, and I am thrilled to have my own contribution play a small part in UNDP’s impressive history of theological publication.” —Joseph K. Gordon, author of Divine Scripture in Human Understanding
“I have had the privilege of seeing the ascent of the University of Notre Dame Press into the top echelon of university publishers in the field of American history . . . reaching a wide public and changing conversations about our society through forceful, enlightening accounts of the past.” —Darren Dochuk, co-editor of, most recently, Religion and Politics Beyond the Culture Wars
“The University of Notre Dame Press has always represented the highest standards in publishing. However, things have gone up a notch under Steve Wrinn. Every new catalog features at least five must-own titles. Woe to book budgets everywhere!” —Artur Rosman, translator of The Philosophy of Drama
“Dealing with my publisher has been surprisingly joyful! Notre Dame Press is the best I have dealt with. You’ve assembled an extraordinary editorial team, which is releasing some of the best and most important titles in politics and political theory, amongst other fields.” —Bradley C. S. Watson, author of Progressivism
“The McGrath Institute for Church Life has benefited enormously from our creative partnership between the Press and our Church Life Journal. We are able to provide our readers with high quality, interesting articles drawn from extracts from new publications, and hopefully the Press benefits too from the exposure. We are very pleased with this collaborative partnership, and also, of course, impressed with the quality of the books sent our way!” —John C. Cavidini, co-editor of, most recently, Mary on the Eve of the Second Vatican Council
