That's how "saints" were created!

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of sainthood, the book delves into the perspectives of Paul Golbach, who critiques the notion that saints are merely pious figures elevated by the faithful. It argues that saints serve as secondary deities across monotheistic religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, contrasting them with ancient polytheistic traditions. The text highlights the role of posthumous miracles in canonization and questions the authenticity of these "evidences," suggesting that the church's needs often dictate the narratives surrounding sainthood.
