This title is part of a complete revision of "Butler's Lives of the
Saints". The series comes in 12 volumes which correspond to the
months of the year. This is the June volume. How to live a
Christian life of faith is a question every generation of
Christians has sought to answer. Invariably, they have turned to
the lives of the saints. They offer inspiration, hope and a clear
challenge to all Christians. Saints, the popular heroes and
heroines of every age, also have an importance beyond the
inspiration they provide. Numerous conferences and publications
testify to the increased attention being given to their lives as
richly documented sources for the study of social and cultural, as
well as religious history. This is the first revised edition since
the major Calendar reform of 1969-70. It is based on the new "Roman
Martyrology" being finalized by the Congregation for Divine
Worship. There is a more worldwide emphasis, resulting in more
expanded coverage of saints from all continents. There is also
in-depth historical and contextual background on major saints, and
the inclusion of many new saints and the blessed from recent
decades. Some major entries include: Aidan of Lindisfarne, Ambrose,
Anselm, Antony of Egypt, Bernadette of Boniface, Columba of Iona,
Cuthbert, Don Bosco, Francis Xavier, Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of
Avila and Thomas Becket.
