by Timothy Matovina (Johns Hopkins University Press)
A study of the tradition of devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe
as it is lived out by the parishioners of San Fernando Cathedral
in San Antonio, Texas. This devotion, Matovina shows, sustained
the congregation through vast changes and power shifts, as the
agricultural settlement of San Antonio became a U.S. metropolis.
The author teaches theology at Notre Dame, where he also directs
the Cushaw Center for the Study of America Catholicism. The book
is part of the John Hopkins University Press's Lived Religions
series.
