Our Lady of Guadalupe cover

For decades, Stafford Poole has stood at the forefront of scholarship on the historicity of the Virgin of Guadalupe, an icon that serves as one of the most important formative religious and national symbols in the history of Mexico. Poole’s groundbreaking first edition of Our Lady of Guadalupe was the first ever to examine in depth every historical source of the Guadalupe apparitions. In this revised edition, Poole employs additional sources and commentary to further challenge common interpretations and assumptions about the Guadalupan tradition.

Poole’s updated work employs new sources, commentary, and impressive archival acumen to boldly stand by his revisionist scholarship on the historicity of the Virgin of Guadalupe that has stood firm now for over two decades."" - Mark Z. Christensen, author of Translated Christianities: Nahuatl and Maya Religious Texts
