101 Questions & Answers on Saints
101 Questions & Answers on Saints (101 Questions & Answers)
George P. Evans,
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 0809144425   DDC: 200   Edition: Paperback; 2007-03

Summary:

While there are many books on saints,this one is different. Keeping
in mind the questions he has been asked by people over the years,
George Evans has written a book in popular question-and-answer format
that treats not only the saints' existence, place, and functions, but
also the kind of honor given to them in the Church's liturgy and
life. The author treats such topics as beatification and
canonization; hagiography, the study of the lives of the saints; and
the role of saints in art. An informational text as well as a book to
pick up now and then for entertaining reading, this book offers
readers a deeper sense of why the saints and the honoring of them has
been influential in the lives of Catholics and others who strive to
follow Jesus Christ and experience his love. It is a happy medium
between the scholarly and devotional books that are its competition.
