HIST 433 - Saints:Origins to the Internet

3 Credit Hours
Histories, legends, and stories of saints - they tell the tales of ages past and cultures present. Saints are created by and for those who admire their holy way of life, miracles, or witness for the faith. Saints and sanctity are also the focus of rich and varied sources that historians can draw from to understand the past. As such, studying holy men and women tell us much about the societies that venerated them, wrote about them, and included them in official lists of holy intercessors and role models.
