David Hugh Farmer chronicles the lives of over 1,500 saints venerated in Britain and beyond, drawing on hagiographical sources, medieval manuscripts, and modern scholarship to present concise yet richly detailed entries that illuminate each subject's life, death, miracles, and lasting legacy in Christian tradition.\n\nRooted in meticulous historical research, this work argues that the veneration of saints is inseparable from the broader tapestry of Western religious and cultural history, revealing how these figures shaped devotion, art, and community across the centuries. Farmer's precise, scholarly prose makes the volume an indispensable tool for historians, theologians, and curious readers alike — and with each turn of the page, one discovers that the boundary between history and miracle is far more porous than it first appears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948327211227,"sku":"2026100010193-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f8c1d047-5366-4c22-a3c1-9ee15e5d4900.png?v=1793104788","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010193-secondhand-the-oxford-dictionary-of-saints","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
