James Spencer Northcote Livres
Ce prêtre et écrivain catholique anglais fut profondément influencé par John Henry Newman. Après sa conversion au catholicisme et son ordination, il consacra sa vie à l'érudition et à l'écriture. Son œuvre la plus significative, 'Roma Sotterranea', constitue une étude faisant autorité sur les catacombes, coécrite avec l'évêque William R. Brownlow. Ses vastes recherches savantes sur les antiquités chrétiennes en font une figure notable pour ceux qui s'intéressent à l'Église primitive.
This critical examination of the alleged apparition of the Blessed Virgin to two children on the mountain of La Salette in 1846 offers a fascinating glimpse into a moment of religious fervor. James Spencer Northcote takes a skeptical approach to the claims of the visionaries, providing a detailed analysis of the evidence and the broader cultural context in which they emerged. This thought-provoking book is a must-read for anyone interested in religious history and the ways in which belief systems can shape our world.
