Saints and Heroes
Author: George Hodges
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company, New York
Dates: 1912
This two volume series provides a very good survey
of many of the most important religious heroes in
Christian history. The first volume covers some of the best known
saints who lived before teh reformation.
Included are many of the fathers of
the church, such as Athanasius, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine
of Hippo, as well as early mediaeval saints such as Hildebrand,
Becket, and Francis of Assisi.
Almost all of the heroes in the second volume, from Luther to
Wesley, are heroes of the Protestant, rather than the Catholic
Church; Sir Thomas More, and Ignatius Loyola being the sole
Catholics. In addition to Theologians, such as Luther, Calvin, and Knox,
other Protestant heroes include William the Silent, Coligny, Cromwell,
Brewster and John Bunyan.
