The Divine and Human Comedy of Andrew M. Greeley
by Allienne R. Becker. 192 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

An eminent sociologist, educator, author of roughly 40 novels, and priest of the Roman Catholic Church, Andrew M. Greeley attained literary fame in 1981 with the publication of The Cardinal Sins. By comparing Greeley with the 19th-century French author Honore de Balzac, this book argues that Greeley--like Balzac--is a serious novelist of ideas who records and comments on society through his fiction. Like Balzac, he has peopled his fictional world with numerous characters, explored the role of Catholicism in society, and detailed the sacred and profane through the lens of social theory.

Hide Synopsis [-]

"Few scholars in our period have clarified the profound changes that have occurred in American Catholicism as well as Andrew Greeley has. This is a stunning and genuinely new interpretation of those radical shifts in Catholic thought post Vatican II."--David Tracy, University of Chicago
"Greeley tackles the big question of how the Roman Catholic Church could be in such deep trouble just a generation removed from its biggest reform. In this timely review of the last forty years, he reveals his mastery of both church politics and popular religious feelings. once again he shows us why millions of American Catholics trust him to be their voice."--Mike Hout, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley
