Description
Additional information

This volume offers detailed accounts of the lives and experiences of more than 400 principal saints, from early martyrs such as Lucy of Syracuse to recently canonized saints such as Katherine Drexel. Entries supply a biographical overview, a record of the saint’s non secular trips and mystical experiences, a discussion of private philosophies and necessary theological influences, in addition to his or her patronage, feast days and popular role throughout the Church.
Extensive appendices come with information on patron saints by topic, a calendar of feast days, beatified and canonized popes, an evidence of the canonization process, a word list of terms and a word list of heresies. The Encyclopedia of Saints brings to light both the non secular heroism and colorful, little-known facts of the lives of saints for a comprehensive, in-depth exploration of sainthood.
