THEMA Religious and spiritual figures
Synopsis From bloody martyrdoms to saints’ lives, religious stories became tools of power, shaping minds and legitimizing obedience. Antonio Rubial analyzes how these narratives tied Christian values to patriarchy and justified violence. With insight, he shows how these discourses, full of spectacle, forged alliances between Church and State and still shed light on social dilemmas we face today.
