Our Lady of Emmitsburg is a lovingly crafted and well-written account of an extraordinary woman, her apparitions of the Virgin Mary, and their devotees. Jill Krebs is a scholar who takes her interlocutors seriously. She listens to them, engages with them, shares her own thoughts with them. This is a wonderful study that methodologically shows us what engaged, embodied, and reciprocal ethnography can be. Krebs offers us a compelling and very important book about people whose beliefs and faith are made palpable to the reader. I highly recommend it. -- Kristy Nabhan-Warren, University of Iowa

Bromley, founder and director, World Religions and Spirituality Project Our Lady of Emmitsburg will be an important book in the corpus of scholarship on Marian devotion in general and Marian apparitions in particular. [It is] well researched, well organized, and engagingly written... the real and lasting contribution of this book comes in the author's elucidation of the visual culture of apparition devotees. -- Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, University of Kansas
