Stephanie Höllinger and Stephan Goertz shine a light on this rich and varied history, placing particular interest in revealing St. Sebastian's influence on contemporary art and literature. By examining the saint's representation in art, this book uncovers a thought-provoking, cross-historical dialogue between theological, social, and political ideologies embodied by the saint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Höllinger\u003c\/b\u003e is a Post-doc Assistant in Moral Theology at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephan Goertz\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Moral Theology at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 December 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216278849\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333863702668,"sku":"9798216278849","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_96a904d7-64af-4272-8765-0a107499fe67.jpg?v=1783617229","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9798216278849","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
