Автор:Aviad M. Kleinberg Год: 1997 Издание:University of Chicago Press Страниц: 204 ISBN: 0226439720 In this original study of the making of saintly reputations, Aviad M.Kleinberg shows how sainthood, though frequently seen as a personal trait, is actually the product of negotiations between particular individuals and their communities. Employing the methods of history, anthropology, and textual criticism, Kleinberg examines the mechanics of sainthood in daily interactions between putative saints and their audiences. This book will interest historians, anthropologists, sociologists, medievalists, and those interested in the study of religion.
