A comprehensive study of the Catholic worldview, as distinguished from the Protestant perspective, discusses the central motifs of Catholicism including Sacrament, Salvation, and Community, linking these themes to Catholic art and culture and arguing that they encourage a perception of divine imminence.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

"Greeley has written a lively, controversial and stimulating book in which he describes a Catholic imagination which is different from (not better or worse than) a Protestant imagination. Going beyond his own position, I believe Protestants have much to learn not just about the Catholic imagination but from it as he describes it."Robert Bellah, coauthor ofHabits of the Heart

"Andrew Greeley is the most vivid sociological writer of our time. By studying artists and artisans directly, he brings David Tracy's theory of religious imagination to life. The survey data show that ordinary people have imaginations too, and that the lay person's imagination is also framed by religious tradition. This book is a tour de force."Michael Hout, University of California, Berkeley
