The Lure of Saints: A Protestant Experience of Catholic Tradition

The Lure of Saints: A Protestant Experience of Catholic Tradition

Discover the richness of the Catholic imagination and explore the meaning of saints in history and today. All Christians share ancient traditions of making saints and practicing faith in the midst of a cloud of witnesses. We also share the heritage of the Protestant Reformation and the sometimes radical change in attitudes toward saints that resulted from those upheavals. What does this shared history tell us about what it means to be a saint today? This compelling guide includes profiles of ancient, medieval and modern figures, East and West, the sublime and the unusual, with special chapters exploring: *Differences between Catholic and Protestant imaginations. *How saints were made in the past and how they are today. *Devotions and spiritual practices. *The radical triumph of the Protestant idea. *Miracles, doubt, and belief. *Tears, pain, foolishness, apparitions, stigmatas, and more strange, saintly behavior. Full of colorful characters, wise insights, and profound appreciation for faith, The Lure of Saints is an exploration of how exemplary, and sometimes unusual, men and women have impacted both the Church and the world. Also included are the personal reflections of other religious teachers and writers who have daily practices of relating to the saints, including Abbot M. Basil Pennington, Mitch Finley, Fr. Murray Bodo, Rev. Mary E. Haddad, and others. Black and white photos and illustrations, a helpful glossary of terms, annotated reflections on resources for further reading, and indexes by subject and by name make this the ideal book for experiencing the wisdom and wonder of the saints in history, and today.
