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.
