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. 410 0$aATLA Special Series 606 $aChristian saints$xCult$zEurope 606 $aChristianity 610 $asaints, sanctity, religion, spirituality, biography, holy men, christianity, catholicism, medieval, veneration, divinity, martyrdom, sacrifice, holiness, piety, nonfiction, history, latin christendom, class, gender, religious women, chastity, hagiography, care of children, sacred, middle ages, family, inspiration, cloister, devotion. 615 0$aChristian saints$xCult 615 0$aChristianity. 676 $a235.2 700 $aWeinstein$b Donald$f1926-2015$0192753 701 $aBell$b Rudolph M$0153823 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248147203316 996 $aSaints & society$92330845 997 $aUNISA
