"Eddie’s Dream takes us on a fictional tour of what happened the past forty years to the Catholic Church. Eddie joins a religious order founded by Diogo, a pilot in the 15th century Portuguese fleets. With flashbacks to Diogo’s story, we see Eddie gradually becoming an accomplished theologian but one who often doubts the usefulness of what he’s doing. With brilliant insights into post-Vatican II thinking, the novel poses serious religious questions with wit, psychological acumen, and human compassion." — Joseph Cunneen, founding editor, Cross Currents
"This is a subtle tale about transformation." — Gideon Weil, editor, HarperSanFrancisco
"Eddie’s Dream is an imaginative Bildungsroman of a priest-theologian whose own generation started out as traditional Catholics but whose younger Catholic counterparts now get married in Lakota Indian lodges and such. What begins as a kind of ‘The Education of Eddie Danaher’ (pace Henry Adams) ends up a lot closer to the mysticism of Georges Bernanos’ country priest. Eddie looks beyond liberal and conservative to a place neither of them might care to visit — their own unaddressed feelings about God." — John Healey, former director, Archbishop Hughes Institute of Religion and Culture
"An insightful, witty and poetic window on Catholic life in recent decades." — Kevin Lynch, C.S.P., senior editor, Paulist Press
