Together, they formed a network comprising new forms of sacredness and spiritual practice. A masterwork in the history of Christianity, \u003ci\u003eShrines, Relics, and Saints\u003c\/i\u003e traces pilgrimage routes to major sanctuaries, follows saints' relics as they were transferred from East to West, and examines the Church's ambiguous and sometimes antagonistic relationship to sites of popular worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndré Vauchez is Professor Emeritus of Medieval History at Université Paris Nanterre.
