"William Christian shows clearsighted discernment about the workings of faith and the politics of the supernatural, but he never loses touch with the hunger and vulnerability of human beings in their quest for the sacred. "Visionaries" is an astonishing book of profound research and humane wisdom."--Marina Warner, author of "Six Myths of Our Time" "A rich and wonderful book. . . . Beautifully written, leisurely in pace, complex not only in analytical categories but also in human sensitivity, this study of Catholic religiosity in the 1930s sheds light on fundamental aspects of human spirituality and psychology and on the sophisticated questions we all--scholars and ordinary readers alike--must ask about how society constructs, uses, and eclipses the wondrous. With wise methodological apercus and stunning human stories on every page, this is a book not so much to read as to savour--to dip into often and to meditate upon at length."--Caroline W. Bynum, author of "Holy Feast and Holy Fast"
