Wondrous in His Saints

"In addition to telling fascinating tales of miracles, Soergel affords noteworthy insights into late medieval piety, the strife between Protestants and Catholics, and the changes wrought by the Counter-Reformation. These are all important issues, and they place his work at the center of a vibrant literature on the cultural and social history of religion and printing in early modern Europe."--Philip T. Hoffman, California Institute of Technology
