Donald Attwater presents an encyclopedic compendium of saints drawn from across the Christian world, chronicling their lives, feast days, patronages, and the legends that have grown up around them, from the most universally venerated figures to the more obscure local holy men and women of the early Church.\n\nAttwater, one of the foremost hagiographers of the twentieth century, writes with scholarly precision and an admirable economy of style, distilling centuries of ecclesiastical scholarship into concise, readable entries that serve both the casual inquirer and the serious researcher. The work stands as an indispensable reference for anyone interested in Christian history, medieval culture, art iconography, or the enduring human impulse to seek the sacred in extraordinary lives — leaving the reader to wonder just how many forgotten saints still await rediscovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342777524443,"sku":"2026200016128-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f141cce4-21c7-4350-82e8-b62b07901bb4.png?v=1790049265","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016128-secondhand-the-penguin-dictionary-of-saints","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
