This celebration of the art of Catholic Hispanic New Mexico accompanies a traveling exhibition that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Spanish influence in the Southwest.

Noted scholar, student of New Mexican culture, and teacher Father Tom Steele has tracked down all the existing manuscript sermons of Jean Baptiste Lamy (1814-88), the first bishop of Santa Fe and the model for the title character of Willa Cather's novel Death Comes for the Archbishop. Lamy has been the subject of devotion, rumor, and attack for over a hundred years. In this new book Steele selects important and characteristic sermons and uses them to decipher the real Lamy, public and private. This book builds on previous scholarly work about Lamy, including Paul Horgan's Lamy of Santa Fe, and presents new information and insight based on Lamy's own writings. A fully searchable CD-ROM (for both PC and MAC) of Lamy's complete sermons in English and Spanish is also available.

("I have attempted in this book to bring to bear upon New ...)
"I have attempted in this book to bring to bear upon New Mexican Spanish religious folk art of the last century - the santos - the kind of analysis by formal criticism, theology, sociology, and psychology which will enable these pictures and statues of saints to illuminate in their special fashion the life of the people for whom and by whom they were made." Thus Father Steele introduced the 1974 hardcover edition of this book. In this paperback edition, he has made certain revisions and provided a 1982 bibliographical update. --- from book's back cover

Santos and Saints is a new book, though the title has been around for over twenty years. This new edition provides greater detail and newly available information to illustrate the santero's art and to describe the tradition roles of santos in both religious and secular life. Santos and Saints has served for two decades as the best available guide to the religious folk art of New Mexico. In its new edition, it has become even more valuable to scholars and general readers alike.
