ISBN:  9780199676514 (paperback) : 0199676518 (paperback) : Series:  Very short introductions ; 580. Description:  xviii, 149 pages : illustrations ; 18 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The idea of saints and sainthood are familiar to all, irrelevant of religious faith. Simon Yarrow looks at the origins, ideas, and definitions of sainthood, sanctity, and saints in the early Church, tracing their development in history and explaining the social roles saints played in the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds. Along the way Yarrow considers the treatment of saints as objects of literary and artistic expression and interpretation, and as examples of idealised male and female heroism, and compares Christian saints and holy figures to venerated figures in other religious cultures, including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. He concludes by considering the experiences of devotees to saints, and looking at how saints continue to be powerful presence in our modern world."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 270.0922 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 270.0922 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 270.0922 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 270.0922 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList
