Soldiers of Christ: Saints and Saints' Lives from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages - Brossura
Soldiers of Christ brings together for the first time in one volume eleven critical writings about the saints from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages.
To understand European culture and society in the Middle Ages it is essential to understand the role of Christianity. And there is no better way to understand that role than to study that religion's greatest human heroes, the saints. For if Christians regarded God as their king, then the saints were the Christian nobility, human members of the divine court. To use one much-repeated phrase, they served as "soldiers of Christ." The purpose of this volume is to present in English translation some of the most significant records of the lives of those people considered to be saints. In exploring these works the reader will be presented with rich evidence about the development of religion and society in western Europe from the late Roman empire to the great changes that transformed European society around the year 1000.
Each text is newly annotated and prefaced by the editors, and a general introduction on saints and saints' lives makes the volume ideal for students and general readers. Included are lives of Martin of Tours, Augustine of Hippo, Germanus of Auxerre, Boniface of Crediton, Sturm, Willibrord, Benedict of Aniane, Leoba, Willehad of Northumbria, and Gerald of Aurillac, as well as the Hodoeporicon of Saint Willibald.

Descrizione libro Paper Back. Condizione: New. A collection of original sources, Soldiers of Christ surveys the saints of Western Europe from (roughly) the fall of the Roman Empire through the year 1000 A.D. In the introduction, editors Noble and Head seek not only to track the changing face of sainthood during this period but also to understand the ways in which European identity was formed from Roman, Christian, and Germanic elements. They point out that studying the lives of the saints during this time helps to unlock the ideals of early medieval Christianity, much like the epic Beowulf provides keys to the ideals of Germanic culture. The definition of hagiography (quoting André Vauchez) as a genre that 'aims precisely at blurring the individual's traits and transforming his or her lifetime into a fragment of eternity' is helpful in understanding the lives of the saints that follow, though Noble and Head are quick to point out that models of sanctity changed considerably over time as martyrs segued into monastics which segued into a breed of saintly bishops. The saints' texts are preceded by short introductions that supply essential details about the author as well as important matters pertaining to the text's composition. Their worthy host include Martin of Tours, Augustine, Germanus of Auxerre, Boniface, Willibald, Sturm, Willibrord, Benedict, Leoba, Willehad, and Gerald of Aurillac. Codice articolo 11356
