What is The Oxford Dictionary of Saints, Fifth Edition Revised about?

Far more than a dry hagiographical account of the lives of saints, this entertaining and authoritative dictionary breathes life into its subjects and is as browsable as it is informative. First published in 1978, the Oxford Dictionary of Saints offers more than 1,700 fascinating and informative entries covering the lives, cults, and artistic associations of saints from around the world, from the famous to the obscure, the rich to the poor, and the academic to the uneducated. From all walks of life and from all periods of history and from around the world, the wide varieties of personalities and achievements of the canonized are reflected. An updated introductionexplains the steps towards becoming a saint, the processes of beatification and canonization.This revised fifth edition includes appendices containing five maps of pilgrimage sites, a list of saints patronages and iconographical emblems, and a calendar of principal feasts, as well as a new appendix on pilgrimages. ** Christian Books & Bibles,Catholicism,Saints,Churches & Church Leadership,Church History,History,World,Religious,Christianity,Reference,Encyclopedias & Subject Guides,Religion,Religion & Spirituality,Religious St
