Bell examine the lives of 864 saints who lived between 1000 and 1700 and the perceptions of sanctity prevalent in late medieval and early modern Europe. They also provide a substantial body of information on the people among whom the saints lived and by whom they came to be venerated. In the first part, the authors give close consideration to what the saints' lives reveal about childhood, adolescence, and adulthood; the impact of religious inspiration upon family bonds; and family influences upon religious behavior. The second part provides a composite picture of piety and its changing configuration in Latin Christendom. With the assistance of statistical analysis, the authors answer questions involving the popular perception of holiness, social class, and gender.ATLA Special SeriesChristian saintsCultEuropeChristianitysaints, sanctity, religion, spirituality, biography, holy men, christianity, catholicism, medieval, veneration, divinity, martyrdom, sacrifice, holiness, piety, nonfiction, history, latin christendom, class, gender, religious women, chastity, hagiography, care of children, sacred, middle ages, family, inspiration, cloister, devotion.Christian saintsCultChristianity.235.2Weinstein Donald1926-2015192753Bell Rudolph M153823MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248147203316Saints & society2330845UNISA
