Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Cult of the SaintsCondition: NewDescription: A stimulating look at the rise of the cult of the saints, weaving it within its social and cultural context. A beautifully written book' (Catholic Herald). `This book, besides being scholarly, is immensely readable and profoundly rewarding for anyone interested in Christianity's brave attempt to "join heaven and earth" in a whole that is both familiar and holy' (Church Times). `Its style is that of the orator, full of grace and glory, carrying an audience along into a rich and many-coloured world where a seventeenth-century lyric of profane love provides a chapter heading to a discussion of early Christian tombs, and present-day dealings with a fqih in Morocco proves a parallel for appeals to the saints in the late antique world' (New Blackfriars).Author: Peter BrownCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBEAN: 9780334019640Format: PaperbackGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityISBN: 9780334019640ISBN-10: 0334019648Item Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: SCM PressRelease Date: 07/31/2012Subtitle: Its Rise and Function in Latin ChristianityRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
