APPARITIONS INC. - How the Virgin Became a Global Icon
Does the Virgin appear where she is needed, or where it is convenient for her to do so?
In this book, Noe Tellez Reyes deploys a provocative, critical, and deeply documented analysis of one of the most fascinating phenomena of Christianity: the Marian apparitions. With a pen that combines irony, erudition, and cultural sensitivity, he explores from Fatima to Medjugorje, from Tonantzin to Guadalupe, revealing the multiple theological, political, social and symbolic layers behind each apparition.
It is not an attack on faith. Nor is it a defense. It is an invitation to think.
If you've ever wondered why the Virgin chooses illiterate peasants, why she almost always appears in complex geopolitical contexts, or how close dogma is to strategy, this book is for you. About the Author
Noe Tellez Reyes is a multidisciplinary writer, industrial engineer in chemistry with a specialization in drilling fluid design and integrated management systems, passionate about the critical analysis of organizational management, pseudoscience, corporate culture, and contemporary social phenomena. His work moves fluidly between technical essay and academic satire, challenging the reader to think rigorously and to question the seemingly unquestionable.
The author writes for those who are not afraid to think, laugh and, above all, question. His books invite a thoughtful reading, uncomfortable at times, but always stimulating.
"APPARITIONS INC. - How the Virgin Became a Global Icon" is his most ambitious work to date, where he displays a critical but not cynical, passionate but not devout, look at the figure of Mary as a living myth, political tool, and mirror of the tensions between the sacred and the institutional.
