Description

This course explores the meaning of sainthood in different Christian traditions and cultures through the centuries by emphasizing the lives of unsuccessful candidates for sainthood. Some of these many and diverse failures are venerated regardless of official opinions of their heroic virtue, while others are relics of forgotten events and struggles. Some may yet achieve formal recognition, and at least one is nobody at all!
