Typology in Hagiography,
By Moriah Barach "Moriah" (Sulphur, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medieval Hagiography: An Anthology (Garland Library of Medieval Literature) (Paperback)
Head does a wonderful job of preserving the stories of saint's in the early church. The writings he's chosen to include provide the reader with a good example of what was important during that age. Most stories are typological of Christ, they include instances of the humble piety and miraculous deeds performed by each. Specific dates, locations, events aren't the focus, rather it acts as a mirror to show the reader what was important to the Church during that time period. Also, it clearly shows what the saint's saw reflected from their lives. I'd highly recommend this work for anyone looking to delve into the subject of Hagiography.
