About the book

"The Peruvian mystic St. Rose of Lima (Isabel Flores y Oliva, 1586-1617) was canonized in 1671 as the first saint of the New World and remains the object of widespread devotion today. In this study, Frank Graziano uses the example of St. Rose to explore the meaning of female mysticism and the way in which saints are products of their cultures."--Jacket.

First sentence: If God does not exist, or at least not as depicted by early modern Catholicism, then what are mystics doing?
