Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of St. Agnes of Rome: Virgin and Martyr Three centuries were gone by since the blood of Jesus Christ had flowed upon Calvary, and the blood of Christians, meanwhile, was flowing continually, without other cessation than that occasioned from time to time by the weariness of the executioners. Still, however, the Gospel had penetrated even to the extremities of the earth. Christianity had transformed'millions of souls; a new world was about to go forth as from a new creation; it seemed but to await a last moistening dew of the blood of martyrs in order to burst into existence. The time was ap preaching, in fine, when the ransom of the world would be complete; one, and the last install ment, so to speak, remained to be paid, and the redeemed world would belong openly to Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of St. Agnes, Virgin and Martyr The San Francisco and Valparaiso earthquakes have not been wholly unproductive of good. They have given occasion for the display of noble qualities of which pessimists would make us believe poor human nature is incapable. They also prove the wonderful resilient properties possessed by the younger races of the world. Out of their ruins these American cities will rise still more beautiful and prosperous. The same catastrophes have served another pur pose: they have severely tested our boasted civiliza tion, and exposed its weak points. What passed for solid marble has, in many instances, turned out to be only brick or concrete with a thin facing of a more precious material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Church and Her Martyrs This work is a compilation which was first issued in the eighteenth century, and which has been edited and re - edited several times since. The above name (great martyr's-book) is not its full, nor even its correct, title, but it is popularly known by this, and for convenience in an English book it has been thus referred to throughout these pages. Its record really embraces all the martyrs of the Chris tian Church from the Crucifixion down, so that the Dutch martyrology had to be gotten from it by a process of sifting.

Download or read book Chaste Passions written by Karen A. Winstead and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgin martyrs make up one of the largest categories of medieval saints. To judge by their frequent appearances in art and literature, they also figure among the most venerated. The legends of virgin martyrs, retold in various ways through the centuries, illuminate trends in popular piety, values, and literary tastes. Chaste Passions contains sixteen English virgin martyr legends, each of a different saint and each translated into colloquial, modern English prose. Faithful in tone and meaning to the originals, Karen Winstead's lively translations allow contemporary readers to appreciate why virgin martyr legends thrived for hundreds of years. Winstead presents the tales in chronological order, tracing the effects of the composition and tastes of the audience on the development of the genre. The virgin martyr, Winstead tells us, escapes the confining female stereotypes—demure maiden or disruptive shrew—prevalent in writings of the period. Because nearly all of the texts were written by men but addressed to women, they exhibit a fascinating interplay between male views of so-called women's literature and the demands of their intended audience. Familiarity with this widely read genre is essential to a full understanding of medieval culture, and Chaste Passions is an excellent introduction to these often racy, sometimes comic, tales
