Moore demonstrates in a series of detailed and well researched studies the creative theological, cultural, and political endeavour of French Catholicism as a significant legacy of the twentieth century. However, Moore clearly signposts the abiding importance of this rich and complex contribution of French Catholicism to our own times and challenges. --Anthony O'Mahony, University of Oxford Brenna Moore in Kindred Spirits: Friendship and Resistance at the Edges of Modern Catholicism has written a very fine work on 'Spiritual Friendship' in the life and thought of French Catholics in their encounter with the modern world. Moore demonstrates in a series of detailed and well researched studies the creative theological, cultural, and political endeavour of French Catholicism as a significant legacy of the twentieth century. However, Moore clearly signposts the abiding importance of this rich and complex contribution of French Catholicism to our own times and challenges. -- Anthony O'Mahony, University of Oxford Kindred Spirits offers a vivid and venturesome alternative to histories of Catholicism in modernity that are white, male, sexless, and European, even as it situates its readings, remarkably, within the same Catholicism: colonial, dominated by men, and recalcitrant on questions of sexuality. Beautiful and rich, this book will speak powerfully to those who wonder how in the world we were connected to one another before the internet, and what forms of intimacy we have lost from ceasing by and large to cultivate them. * Tracy Fessenden, Arizona State University * Passionate spiritual relationships have never been treated with the depth of insight, the warmth, or the empathy displayed in Kindred Spirits, a work that is attentive to both the profound joy and the jealousies and grief that sometimes hovered around the edge of these bonds. Kindred Spirits is also rich in implications for better understanding personal relationships in contemporary spiritual practice. * James T. Fisher, Fordham University * Kindred Spirits recovers the lost world of 'spiritual friendships' that stimulated Catholic intellectual resistance to the horrors of the twentieth-century. It is a brilliant and brave book, beautifully researched, and a model for how to write the history of the emotions and the 'personal' without losing sight of the largest questions. * Ruth Harris, All Souls' College, Oxford * Kindred Spirits is a very fine work on 'Spiritual Friendship' in the life and thought of French Catholics in their encounter with the modern world. Moore demonstrates in a series of detailed and well researched studies the creative theological, cultural, and political endeavor of French Catholicism as a significant legacy of the twentieth century. However, Moore clearly signposts the abiding importance of this rich and complex contribution of French Catholicism to our own times and challenges. -- Anthony O'Mahony, University of Oxford Author InformationBrenna Moore is associate professor of theology at Fordham University.
