Bare Ruined Choirs: Doubt, Prophecy and Radical Religion
by: Garry Wills

Hardcover. NY, Doubleday, reprint, 1972, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a worn, chipped dust jacket, 272 pages. Mr. Wills takes the disarray of the Catholic Church as a model of institutional breakdown, tracing parallel agonies in church and state... He asks whether life can rise again from our institutional ruins, and finds promising signs of this, not only among Catholic "prophets" but Protestant and Jewish ones as well."
