Neglected Saints
SKU: 978-1952826641
Product Details
By E. I. Watkin
The pronounced absence of God in the modern secular outlook, E. I. Watkin asserts, is symptomatic of an impaired vision which perceives only the content of the cosmos, not its spirit. The examples of the saints offer a corrective to this defect, for they “look, live, and love in the depth.” Their witness to the world, the relation of their experiences of God and reception of God’s revelation, adds a necessary complement to the broad yet narrow vision of the present age. In these studies, Watkin widens the array of saintly examples which can provide this instruction, among which are Saints Martin of Tours and Hugh of Lincoln and Blesseds Jordan of Saxony, Diana D’Andalo, and Antony Grassi.
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. (Hebrews 12:1)
An admixture of hagiography and biography, Neglected Saints paints matter-of-fact, lifelike portraits of its subjects. Each study accomplishes Watkin’s stated goal: that the saints “be seen as fully human, yet by God’s gift of Himself divine, countenances wholly individual, as individual as men’s bodily faces, yet bright with God’s glory.”
E. I. Watkin (1888–1981) was an English writer and convert to Catholicism. Described by The London Times as “one of the most distinguished Catholic philosophers of his day,” Watkin wrote books and essays on poetry and philosophy, aesthetics and ethics, history and religion, and mysticism and theology. His books include A Philosophy of Form, Catholic Art and Culture, and Poets and Mystics.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
