3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting resource book,
By The Servant of God (Miami, FL (USA)) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Soldiers of Christ: Saints and Saints Lives from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (Paperback)
The only value I can give as theologian to this book is the worldview of this missionaries of the middle ages that lived in a society that was more savage than christian. The rest is pure fiction to try to convice the medieval readers to accept the worship of certain people as "saints". The Biblical concept of holiness is that all baptized and real christians are saints for God, because they all are in Christ. There is nothing extra-ordinary in this. Now, the concept of the writers of this book is different, is that these were abnormal people, holy since conception, born special and meritorious of devotion (worship). As an evangelical christian I will recommend you better the biographies of Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, John Wesley, Spurgeon, Billy Graham, etc...
