Book Synopsis The Postmodern Saints of France by : Colby Dickinson
Download or read book The Postmodern Saints of France written by Colby Dickinson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid to the late 20th century various French thinkers have at times toyed wth the label of 'the saint', applying it to friends, colleagues, the revered nd even the worshipped such as Genet, Sartre, Camus or Foucault. Despite this profaning of the term, however, here are many subtle truths which emerge from its usage among such writers. This volume is devoted to exploring certain varied notions of 'the saint' in recent French philosophical and literary thought from within a theological context, offering insights and valuable contributions toward how we understand sainthood in cultural, philosophical and religious terms. Each essay focuses on the convergence of a particular author's work and their various (re)formulations of 'saintliness' in their writings, whether this concept is directly expressed in their writings or not. In general, the aim of the volume is to develop a critical engagement between each authors' philosophical worldview and historical notions of sainthood, such that we are capable of providing new understandings of what a 'saint' could be said to be in our world today.

Book Synopsis The Authority of the Saints by : Pauline Dimech
Download or read book The Authority of the Saints written by Pauline Dimech and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauline Dimech explores whether and to what extent we may attribute authority to the saints, but also how we may ensure that it is the saints, and not the scoundrels, whose influence persists and whose memory endures. The thing that drives her research is the thought that history is full of examples of individuals who held positions of official authority that they did not deserve. Dimech is convinced that Hans Urs von Balthasar can help us clarify the issues surrounding the authority of the saints. Besides establishing Balthasar's involvement with the enterprise, this book tries to establish the theological foundations upon which the authority of the saints would have to be based in theory, and, possibly, already, however implicitly, based in practice.

Book Synopsis Religion, Society and Politics in France Since 1789 by : Frank Tallett

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been carefully planned to give a coherent account of the impact of religion in France over the last two hundred years. Most books in English dealing with the subject are now dated, and in any case concentrate on institutional questions of church-state relations rather than on the wider influence of religion throughout France. These essays summarise recent French research and provide a concise up-to-date introduction to the history of modern French Catholicism.

Book Synopsis Landscape with Two Saints by : Lisa M. Bitel
Download or read book Landscape with Two Saints written by Lisa M. Bitel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa Bitel uses the history of two unique holy women--Genovefa of Paris (ca. 420-509) and Brigit of Kildare (ca.452-524)--to reveal how ordinary Europeans lived through Christianization at the dawn of the Middle Ages. Most converts did not have a sudden epiphany, Bitel argues. Instead they learned and lived their new religion in continuous conversation with preachers, saints, rulers, and neighbors. Together, they built their faith over many years, brick by brick, into their churches and shrines, cemeteries, houses, and even their markets and farms.
