These stories have the effect of bringing the saints to life as
real people. In the course of reading these stories we happen upon
many fascinating cultural and historical topics, such as the
Christianization of Roman holidays, the symbolism behind the monk's
tonsure, Nero's "pregnancy," and the reason why chaste but
hot-blooded women can grow beards. At the same time these stories
draw abundantly on Holy Scripture to shed light on the mysteries of
the Christian faith. Table of Contents: Joshua, Saul, David,
Solomon, Rehoboam. Job, Tobit, Judith, St. Andrew, St. Nicholas the
