Flesh Made Word: Saints’ Stories and the Western Imagination
Aviad Kleinberg
In the fourth century a new narrative genre captured the imagination of the faithful—the accounts of the lives of Christian saints. Kleinberg argues that these stories were more than edifying entertainment. By retelling the story of virtue and salvation, by expanding the religious imagination of the West, they were reshaping Christianity itself.
