"A fascinating and unusual book, focusing on the religious tropes in my work: I enjoyed it very much. I was brought up amidst a complex weave of tribalism, social change and emotional turmoil, and this book has opened a perspective on the compulsions, questions and conditioned responses that drive me, and the historical and social context of my religious upbringing, and that can only be good… I loved the book."
[Sting, February 2021, personal email, made public with permission]
Currently (2026), Sting is performing in his musical "The Last Ship". See here an article about this musical. The article analyzes previous productions, but with regard to the issues discussed in it, changes done in the 2026 version are minor.
Additional reviews:
"Marienberg... writes for an audience potentially unfamiliar with Catholic faith and practice – and the method makes for a convincing argument. Marienberg is meticulous, and makes no assumptions, resulting in a robust portrait of Sting’s Catholic identity." [Nick Ripatrazone, Catholic Herald, July 2021]
