"The Faith of the Millions (2nd series)" by George Tyrrell is a collection of essays written during the late 19th century. This series comprises a selection of previously published works, focusing on aspects of faith and spirituality that resonate with the lives of ordinary believers, particularly in the context of Catholicism. The text explores various theological and philosophical themes while addressing the challenges and paradoxes faced by individuals in their spiritual journeys.

He notes the historical relevance of Juliana's work and the misunderstandings that may arise from her expressions, positioning her as a voice that echoes timeless struggles with belief and doubt. Through her revelations, he sets the tone for examining broader themes of spirituality, urging the reader to engage with the complexities of faith as it pertains to both personal and communal aspects of life.
