This October volume is part of a complete revision of "Butler's
Lives of the Saints". It comes in 12 volumes which correspond to
the months of the year. 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: St
Theresa of Lisieux, St Bavo, Bd Francis of Pesaro, St Thomas of
Hereford, St Francis of Assisi, St Bruno, Our Lady of the Rosary,
St John Leonardi, St Wilfrid, St Edward the Confessor, St Callistus
I, St Teresa of Avila, St Ignatius of Antioch, St Luke, St Paul of
the Cross, St Fintan of Taghmon, St John of Capistrano, St Antony
Mary Claret, The Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, St Cedd, Bd
Contardo Ferrini, SS Simon and Jude and Ethelnoth of Canterbury.
