Here Raymond Van Dam uses accounts of miracles performed by SS. Martin, Julian, and Hilary to provide a vivid and comprehensive depiction of some of the most influential saints' cults. Viewed within the context of ongoing tensions between paganism and Christianity and between Frankish kings and bishops, these cults tell much about the struggle for authority, the forming of communities, and the concept of sin and redemption in late Roman Gaul. Van Dam begins by describing the origins of the three cults, and discusses the career of Bishop Gregory of Tours, who benefited from the support of various patron saints and in turn promoted their cults. He then treats the political and religious dimensions of healing miracles--including their relation to Catholic theology and their use by bishops to challenge royal authority--and of pilgrimages to saints' shrines. The miracle stories, collected mainly by Gregory of Tours, appear in their first complete English translations. 606 $aChristian saints$xCult$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages$zFrance$zTours$xHistory 615 0$aChristian saints$xCult$xHistory. 615 0$aChristian pilgrims and pilgrimages$xHistory. 676 $a235/.2/094409021 700 $aVan Dam$b Raymond$0487736 701 2$aFortunatus$b Venantius Honorius Clementianus$fca. 540-ca. 600.$0167478 701 2$aGregory$cSaint, Bishop of Tours,$f538-594.$0783112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823008503321 996 $aSaints and their miracles in late antique Gaul$92366714 997 $aUNINA
