Peter Brown's Cult of the Saints - Rated [The above review doesn't seem to be about this book at all (is it a mistake? Is it intended to be about a different book? e.g. Gregory / movie rights)] Anyway, this is an excellent, ground-breaking, and classic study of the idea of sanctity in early Christianity, which provides an accessible and interesting introduction to the development of the cult of the saints, that is, the veneration of martyrs and holy men and women. This book would be of extreme value to students of theology / ancient history, and would also be an intriguing introduction for those who are interested in learning a little more about the development of early Christianity and the origins of the cult of the saints. The book all history students love to hate - Rated This book is very deceptive. It looks brief, concise and comprehensible. However, it is a wolf in sheep's clothing! Gregory writes in his own uniquely convoluted style and waffles like a champion. However, the content was exactly the stuff i needed for my degree programme so no complaints there. My issue is with the author who has long since passed, and I'm not about to start bashing the dead. Therefore, I have awarded three stars purely for the books use as an historical, documentary source. The movie rights are still going for this beauty of a thriller!
