Eugene Hynes study of the apparition of the Virgin Mary at Knock County Mayo in 1879 is a valuable contribution to the field of academic studies of Marian apparitions in the modern world. This is an important book that should attract a wide readership. Hynes is an academic sociologist but he writes in a clear and generally jargon free manner.
