商品簡介
A Basic Dictionary of Saints introduces some 300 men and women from many different backgrounds who came to be regarded as holy. From every era of church history and from all the major Christian traditions, their values are surprisingly modern. They care about poverty and suffering, stand out against cruelty and prejudice, challenge the remorseless acquisition of money and status, are in tune with the natural world and with the ups and downs of human life. In the lives of the saints we see Christian values in action, often at great personal cost, and can find inspiration for our own spiritual journeys.
