The Spirit of Father Damien
Foreword by John Allen Father Damien, famous for his missionary work with exiled lepers on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is finally Saint Damien. His sanctity took 120 years to become officially recognized, but between his death in 1889 and his canonization in 2009 amid creeping secularization and suspicion of the missionary spirit he so much embodied Fr. Damien De Veuster never faded from the world's memory. What kept him there? What keeps him there now? To find an answer, Belgian historian and journalist Jan De Volder sifted through Father Damien's personal correspondence as well as the Vatican archives. With careful and even-handed expertise, De Volder follows Father Damien's transforma...

Saints and Role Models in Judaism and Christianity
This volume deals with the role of saints and exemplary individuals in Judaism and Christianity. Although sharing the Hebrew Bible and recognizing the same Biblical figures there, both religions have developed widely divergent perspectives upon the significance of these figures, although there are occasional common motifs and themes. Moreover, even the contrasting themes betray an underlying interaction between both religions as is clear from the contributions on, for example, Melchizedek, Elijah, the Desert Fathers, Rabbis on clothing, the Apostle Peter in Jewish tradition, the Maccabees in Christian tradition and the Biblical examples in Saint Antony the Hermit. The book examines Jewish and Christian perspectives upon saints and role models from the Biblical period to the present time. It will be of special importance to scholars and general readers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to theology, rabbinics, history, art history and much more.

In het water gevonden
In december 1444 werd buiten de Amersfoortse Kamperpoort een beeldje van Onze Lieve Vrouw onder het ijs gevonden. Zodra het was ‘gered’, vonden wonderen plaats die aan dit beeldje werden toegeschreven. De geruchten daarover verspreidden zich als een lopend vuurtje. Een eeuw lang voltrokken zich nog veel meer mirakelen. Daarvan zijn er 542 schriftelijk overgeleverd, als korte verhaaltjes die alle aspecten van het leven raken. De tekst daarvan is bewaard in drie handschriften uit het begin van de zeventiende eeuw. Een van die handschriften werd vervaardigd op verzoek van Heribert Rosweyde, een van oorsprong Utrechtse, geleerde jezuïet die in Antwerpen informatie verzamelde over het katholieke geloofsleven in de noordelijke Nederlanden. Dit boek biedt een editie en een hertaling in modern Nederlands van het Amersfoortse Mirakelboek, samen met het dossier van Rosweyde. De inleiding geeft een beeld van de historische en religieuze context.
