"The Madonna of 115th Street has over the last quarter century become a classic of American religious history.Â There are few books that I have enjoyed teaching more over the years and even fewer that have taught me as much about American Catholic history."â€”Leigh E. Schmidt, author of Hearing Things: Religion, Illusion, and the American Enlightenment
