Book synopsis

The studies explore how sanctity developed, was understood and represented in the context of modern, global Catholicism. They shed light on the cultural value of canonizations and models of sanctity as models of Christian perfection, including the role of iconography and artworks. The authors present topics such as veneration to, and canonization and representations of, saint theologians, missionaries, martyrs, mystics, and reformers, men and women, taking multidisciplinary perspectives, ranging from liturgy, theology, and Church history up to history of ideas, cultural history, history of emotions, and art history. Seventeen essays to get in touch with saints and hagiographical models from Europe to Asia, in a path possibly leading to the Heavens.
