| PENITENTE RENAISSANCE MANIFESTING HOPE 2007 New Mexico Book Awards Finalist |
Penitente Renaissance, Manifesting Hope is
probably one of the most unique books to be
published on the secretive order of the
Penitentes. Several books have been printed
covering the Hermandad (Brotherhood). However,
what sets this book apart from others are the
numerous color photos of the Hermanos
(Brothers), their moradas (buildings), their
artifacts, and their processions. Included in this
book is a brief history of the Penitentes, rosters of
over 600 Hermanos from southern Colorado and
northern New Mexico, a glossary of Spanish
Penitente terms, and a list of recommended
reading on the Hermandad. This 8 1/2 x 11 inch
perfect binding, softcover book has a rich glossy
cover with 114 pages filled with over 150 color
photos taken by the author. Penitente Renaissance
was edited by noted scholar, Dr. Marianne Stoller
and includes an introduction by Dr. Stoller. The
foreword was written by journalist Juan Espinosa
and the afterword by noted author Dr. Marta
Weigle. This book is for scholars and casual
readers alike who are interested in the fascinating
world of the Penitentes. Radio personality, the
late Paul Harvey, wrote a nice review of this book
in Religion in American History.
