Download or read book The Lay Saint written by Mary Harvey Doyno and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Lay Saint, Mary Harvey Doyno investigates the phenomenon of saintly cults that formed around pious merchants, artisans, midwives, domestic servants, and others in the medieval communes of northern and central Italy. Drawing on a wide array of sources—vitae documenting their saintly lives and legends, miracle books, religious art, and communal records—Doyno uses the rise of and tensions surrounding these civic cults to explore medieval notions of lay religiosity, charismatic power, civic identity, and the church's authority in this period. Although claims about laymen's and laywomen's miraculous abilities challenged the church's expanding political and spiritual dominion, both papal and civic authorities, Doyno finds, vigorously promoted their cults. She shows that this support was neither a simple reflection of the extraordinary lay religious zeal that marked late medieval urban life nor of the Church's recognition of that enthusiasm. Rather, the history of lay saints' cults powerfully illustrates the extent to which lay Christians embraced the vita apostolic—the ideal way of life as modeled by the Apostles—and of the church's efforts to restrain and manage such claims.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of the Saintly: The New Golden Legend A book of this kind, however harmless in its purpose, may yet be judged by some people to need a few words of apology. Despite the wide toleration of the present day, there are still persons who take exception to the humorous treatment of any subject even remotely connected with religion; and others who see in every jocose allusion to Saints and Miracles a studied irreverence towards the Roman Catholic form of Christianity. No such offence, however, is herein intended; the object of raillery being, not any existing religion, but merely the superstition of the Middle Ages. Even this has only called forth a sort of good-natured ridicule, much in the same way as the Nursery Stories of our childhood, which may still afford entertainment, although we have long ceased to believe in them, or regard them with serious interest. The Saints of old were doubtless most meritorious personage?, who did their best according to their lights, but their lights were not our lights, and the stronger illumination of nineteenth century knowledge has cast them and their miraculous doings into the cold shade of myth and fable. Even their boasted virtues have become obsolete, and modem ideas of duty are very much at variance with those they entertained. To wear an iron belt night and day, to go without food for six weeks, to stand upon a pillar for twenty years, are not now-a-days the most accepted methods of getting to Heaven. But the records of the worthies who are credited with these extravagant feats of pious servour have come down to us in such an exaggerated and distorted form that, while we may preserve some sympathy and respect for the Saints themselves, we can have none for their unveracious or over-credulous biographers. Another objection may be that the author has trespassed on the preserves of the immortal "Thomas Ingoldsby."

Download or read book Lay Saints written by Joan Carroll Cruz and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has dreams and goals that they want to achieve, but the foremost and overarching goal for every catholic, and the only one that brings true happiness, should be to become a saint and enjoy the Beatific Vision. It is a momentous task that can often seem overwhelming and unattainable. Indeed, without the aid of grace it is impossible. But confident hope can be placed in God that He will always provide the grace necessary to accomplish such a feat. The saints in this volume are evidence of this fact and serve as role models for cooperation with the action of God’s grace. Within this volume are fifty eight saints who achieved holiness as husbands, wives, parents, or youth. Some lived in marital bliss with never a quarrel; others suffered greatly at the hands of their spouse, and many became saints while still at a tender young age. Each of these saints have qualities to be emulated in living as a member of a family, whether patience is needed in bearing with the faults of a spouse or temperance is needed to check a natural inclination to anger.
Download or read book Saintly Murders Kathryn Swinbrooke Mysteries Book 5 written by Paul Doherty and published by Headline. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A miracle... or murder? Paul Doherty writes a gripping novel in Saintly Murders, the fifth Kathryn Swinbrooke mystery. Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb and Ellis Peters. In the late summer of 1472, medieval physician and apothecary Kathryn Swinbrooke is summoned to investigate yet another puzzling situation in Canterbury. She is appointed by the Archbishop as Advocatus Diaboli - the Devil's Advocate - to argue against the beatification of Roger Atworth, a friar in the Order of the Sack and confessor of King Edward's mother. Atworth has died under mysterious circumstances, and there are rumours afloat of miraculous happenings surrounding his body. When Kathryn begins asking questions at the friary about Atworth's death, she discovers that the logical explanation is murder, not a miracle. But Kathryn suspects a link between his death and that of an English spy outside the friary. With the murderer still on the loose, what began as a search for the town's ills becomes Kathryn's pursuit of a killer... What readers are saying about the Kathryn Swinbrooke Mysteries: 'The sense of menace, depth of characterization and interesting cast of characters make this book, and the series, a brilliant read' 'A great romp through medieval England' 'Superb plot and characters. Kathryn is so interesting and insight into the history of the time is so well documented. You feel as if you were there and can even smell it!'
Download or read book Saints written by Simon Yarrow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of saints and sainthood are familiar to all, irrelevant of religious faith. In this Very Short Introduction, 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 a powerful presence in our modern world. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
