Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon

Add article description

The Ökumenische Heiligenlexikon (ÖHL) or Ecumenical Lexicon of Saints is an independent, ecumenical, private internet project by Protestant priest Joachim Schäfer, from Stuttgart, which aims to publish information on the lives of saints and other "holy people".[1]

Lexicon

The lexicon is the largest and most comprehensive online repository of information on saints and other people considered blessed or holy.[2] The basis of the collection are sources that are generally accessible, especially reprinted church history works. One aim is to edit out conflicting and false information, without making any claim to be scholarly. Volunteers with relevant expertise help the project with information and check articles for correction.

The Ökumenische Heiligenlexikon is available on the Internet, CD ROMs and other electronic data devices. No book publications are planned.
