Reviewers' comments:

"In Bible Bill, David Elliott and Iris Miller have filled a void in the historical literature of Alberta: they have wtitten a focused, sustained, balanced, and critical biography of the movement's founder and first leader, William Aberhart, one of the most unorthodox men to become a provincial premier"
  --- David E. Smith, Canadian Historical Review 70:2 (June 1989), pp.272-273

"Bible Bill should stand as the definitive study of Aberhart for some time."
  --- Welf H. Heick, American Historical Review 94:4(Oct.1989), pp.1206-1207
