relics: theologians, theologies and hagiography

São Roque Museum
Conference on September 22 and 23, 2023

How did theologians see and see the relics? How did theological constructions integrate the relics? But why? Why were saints and relics integrated or excluded in the religious constructions of Christianity? The attempt to answer these questions brought together theologians and historians. We wanted to give way to interpretations and constructions of ideas and examples of historical dimension. Different methods and languages ​​will allow us to cross-reference themes, chronologies, philosophies, doubts... and draw some hypotheses for understanding.
