Seer of Bayside - Veronica Lueken and the Struggle to Define Catholicism

Zusatztext Laycocks treatment of the apocalyptic movement that grew from Luekens visions is sensitive, sophisticated, and evocative. As with all excellent studies of marginal religious groups, The Seer of Bayside sheds as much light on the center as it does on the fringes. The book offers powerful leverage into abiding questions about Catholics relationship with ecstatic religious experience, sacred places, and modern forms of civil and religious authority.
