Críticas:
"An enlightening riot, and one that will steer you away from religion quicker than a pervert priest." -- Miami SunPost "One man has made it his mission to document and collect stories of religious fanatics, freaks, believers of all sorts just like this woman. That man, Michael Largo, regales the reader with tales of religion gone awry in God's Lunatics." -- The Daily Beast "This book is fabulous. I cannot recommend it enough: Michael Largo's encyclopedia of religious weirdness through the centuries. I loved it." -- ExtraordinaryIntelligence.com "An A to Z of the fantastic, scandalous and downright bizarre found within the history of religion. While a perfect book for quick-tempo, episodic reading, I actually found myself sucked into reading it for a stretch of some hours." -- Lansing State Journal "In a cleverly subtle style, Largo reveals the puzzling beliefs and excesses of religions ... measured and nuanced ... his smartly written A-Z capsule entries allow readers to come to their own conclusions." -- Los Angeles Times "Such a great read... What's here is sometimes scarier than even the most frightening horror film... Will entertain without offending." -- Horror-Web.com "God's Lunatics takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of faith's more ridiculous manifestations. The work presents a Victorian freak show of cult leaders, mystics, and crusaders from throughout history." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian
Reseña del editor:
From the dawn of civilisation humankind has looked for answers to the meaning of existence. The big questions like, 'where did we come from?', 'how should we live?', and 'where do we go when we die?' have perplexed and puzzled. Each generation has been eager to follow the prophets who might manifest and offer their guidance. The roads taken to find certain truths were varied, ranging from the ridiculous, or horrific and strange, to the sublime. From the prophets of doom, to the eccentric characters from the Bible, to solitary visionaries, such as hermits and ascetics, or believers in overindulgence, who thought food, sex, and drugs were the keys to the portal to divine understanding, "God's Lunatics" chronicles history's large and colourful cast of prophets. From the intimate doings of those who rose to an 'immortal' level, walked on fire, or handled poisonous snakes, to prophets claiming time travel as their source of knowledge, "God's Lunatics" also takes a look at the foundations of major religions, and the adoption of customs and laws which influenced governments and culture to this day.
