He divided the book into five parts, each containing an illuminating biography with detailed commentary.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRené Fülöp-Miller, a renowned biographer of several historical figures, created \u003cem\u003e*The Saints Who Shook the World*,\u003c\/em\u003e a beautiful and profound study that demonstrates the powerful influence exerted—both in their time and throughout history—by the saints of the Catholic Church. The author, however, preferred to portray these canons from the perspective of their humanity. The saints, according to the author, were ordinary people, with fears and anxieties, who discovered they were connected to a force far more powerful than all their desires. Thus, they decided to give up their carnal lives to dedicate themselves to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFülöp-Miller asserts that all the human principles in which men and women today are so proud—the ideal of social justice, the democratic creed, contempt for all forms of racial prejudice, the importance of women in the political structure, intellectual freedom—are a legacy of a past based on divine faith. The saints were individuals ahead of their time who became responsible for proclaiming cultural values that, to this day, civilization struggles to preserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Each saint portrayed managed to perfect an aspect of Christ's character—that is, the perfect ideal of humanity—to serve as a guide for others. These are, respectively: renunciation, intelligence, love, will, and ecstasy. Fülöp-Miller, however, did not limit himself to writing a series of independent essays. The Saints Who Shook the World excels in cohesion, consisting of a uniform work on the complex phenomenon of holiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eInfluenced by psychoanalysts such as Freud and Forel, the author analyzes the psychological makeup of the saints he studied. Saint Anthony, the saint of renunciation, inspired the monastic movement by renouncing life in the material sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Saint Augustine, theologian and philosopher, was responsible for the work City of God, which served as a model for some of the main political theories that emerged in the following centuries. He was thus classified as the saint of intelligence. The saint of love is Saint Francis of Assisi, who believed that devotion and piety arose from this feeling. Saint Ignatius, in turn, is represented by willpower, as he wrote—in his works Constitutions and Spiritual Exercises—that this effort was the way to avoid attachment to the carnal world. And Saint Teresa, considered the saint of ecstasy, was able to focus on an inner, spiritual universe while the world around her was experiencing a strictly scientific phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Saints Who Shook the World\u003c\/em\u003e has been translated into nine languages and remains a worldwide success, returning to the bestseller list several times. It's a fascinating read that's essential not only for religious believers and historians, but for all those willing to learn from the lives of people who renounced individuality in exchange for a single ideal: love in its fullness.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159608770812,"sku":"9788503008242","price":119.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/3dc91cea2285cbb50b19c95be6922b36_23ec8f89-f80a-48b8-8a96-ce59bd664270.jpg?v=1778321952"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/rene-fulop-miller.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
