[2] Historian Bruno Goyet considers that Boutang's account of Maurras makes it possible to recompose "the canonical succession of the episodes of his life, by recreating their chronological coherence from a completely fragmented bibliographic substrate".

[6] In his book, which stands as a tribute, he writes that "Maurras' anti-Semitism is the most formidable obstacle to the understanding of his doctrine and his life".

[6] He adds :the idea of a Catholicism saving the world from the “Hebrew Christ” is the worst, the least defensible, that Maurras conceived.

It is too clear that Catholicism saved the world from the numberless heresies which disfigured Christ and his message; there was nothing Jewish about these heresies, the only religion where the Jewish influence was decisive was Islam, another religion, perhaps largely forged by the rabbis of Medina, themselves heresiarchs of the Judaism.The book received the Gustave-Le-Métais-Larivière Prize from the French Academy in 1984.

[10] Critics compare the relationship maintained by Pierre Boutang and Charles Maurras to that of Plato with Socrates.
