{"product_id":"inside-opus-dei-maria-del-carmen-tapia-9780826419309","title":"Inside Opus Dei","description":"\"A fascinating and disturbing book. . . a literary grenade seeking to blow apart Opus Dei's benign and exalted image. . . a picture of an obsessively secretive, manipulative and sexist organization with a virtual cultlike veneration of its founder.\"-Boston Globe\u003cbr\u003eTapia's book is a comprehensive account of the inner workings of the women's branch of Opus Dei. It should fascinate sociologists and feminist and contribute to needed self-criticism in the Roman Catholic Church. . . A best seller in Spain, and a success in Germany, Portugal and Italy, Tapia's book has important lessons not only for John Paul II and other Catholics, but for all who wish to see religion freed from the tyranny of self-proclaimed saints.\"-Christian Century\"\u003cbr\u003eThe little I knew about Opus Dei before reading this book was enough to make me feel uneasy about the increasing strength and visibility of the organization in the Catholic Church. Tapia's book deepened my wariness into something akin to dread. Her book, however, is not a cheap or sensational expose. It is the chronicle of an intelligent and sensitive woman who served the organization in responsible positions during her 18 year sojourn as a full member.\" -National Catholic Reporter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria del Carmen Tapia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826419305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826419309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.02w x 0.94d","brand":"Maria del Carmen Tapia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598255812863,"sku":"9780826419309","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae2bea40-9c00-457a-994f-62553e36bd2b.jpg?v=1702381476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inside-opus-dei-maria-del-carmen-tapia-9780826419309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
