Initially, Christian attitude toward the bones of the dead, saint or not, was that of respectful distance. This text examines how this changed in the mid-fourth century. Robert Wiśniewski investigates how Christians began to believe in power of relics, first, over demons, then over physical diseases and enemies. He considers how they sought to reveal hidden knowledge at the tombs of saints and why they buried the death close to them. 000858277 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on January 14, 2019). 000858277 650_0 $$aRelics. 000858277 650_0 $$aSaints$$xCult$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000858277 650_0 $$aChurch history$$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 000858277 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780199675562 000858277 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000858277 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000858277 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199675562.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000858277 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858277$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858277 980__ $$aEBOOK 000858277 980__ $$aBIB 000858277 982__ $$aEbook 000858277 983__ $$aOnline
