LIMBERIS, V. M., Architects of Piety. The Cappadocian Fathers and the Cult of the Martyrs. Oxford University Press, 2011. 256p. Hardback. Limberis brings the pastoral world of the Cappadocian fathers alive, revealing how thoroughly the martyr cult infused their own popular piety and that of the laity they served. One gains new appreciation for their clever and oft revisionary use of the stories, for the centrality of the subject in their thought, and for the ideological value of connecting with those who died for the faith. A delightful and informative read! James E. Goehring, University of Mary Washington (Publisher's information). € 142.67 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780199730889
