The Making of a Saint: The Life, Times and Sanctification of Neophytos the RecluseEvery case of sanctification is unique as unique as the holy man or woman at its centre. Yet at the same time the problem posed is a general one: how does an individual become a Saint? In this bold and pioneering study the author answers the question by providing a detailed analysis of the case of the late twelfth and early thirteenth century Byzantine holy man, the Cypriot Saint Neophytos the Recluse.
