A beautifully written book' (Catholic Herald).  This book, besides being scholarly, is immensely readable and profoundly rewarding for anyone interested in Christianity's brave attempt to \"join heaven and earth\" in a whole that is both familiar and holy' (Church Times).  Its style is that of the orator, full of grace and glory, carrying an audience along into a rich and many-coloured world where a seventeenth-century lyric of profane love provides a chapter heading to a discussion of early Christian tombs, and present-day dealings with a fqih in Morocco proves a parallel for appeals to the saints in the late antique world' (New Blackfriars).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCM Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891104301207,"sku":"9780334019640","price":2877.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780334019640.webp?v=1781182391","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-cult-of-the-saints-its-rise-and-function-in-latin-christianity-9780334019640","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
