Religion og spiritualitet
Forgotten Saints explores the fascinating stories of saints whose influence has waned over time, examining why some figures achieve lasting veneration while others fade into obscurity. Delving into religious history and cultural history, the book uncovers how societal values and theological shifts impact a saint's legacy. For example, a saint embodying virtues less relevant to modern society might experience a decline in popularity. The book argues that the fluctuating fortunes of these saints reflect the dynamic, responsive nature of religious traditions.
The book embarks by introducing the concept of sainthood and the traditional canonization criteria. Then Forgotten Saints presents detailed biographical accounts of several overlooked saints from different periods and regions, analyzing their lives, miracles, and the historical context of their veneration. Each chapter focuses on a specific saint, examining the reasons for their initial popularity, the factors contributing to their subsequent neglect, and their traces in religious practices and folklore. This approach offers a novel perspective on religious memory and cultural change, revealing the diverse expressions of holiness within religious traditions.
