Beschreibung
'Militarization of Saints in Premodern and Modern Times' This book is devoted to the history of military saints from late antiquity to the mid 20th century. Researchers from different national backgrounds and disciplines, such as theology, art history, and history, trace major dynamics, differences, and commonalities in the militarization of saints in the eastern and western Christian traditions. This book suggests that situations of danger and instability often result in the 'reactivation' of the military saints potential, followed by periods of 'demilitarization'.
