Description
First written within the mid-eighteenth century, Butler’s Lives of the Saints, now to be had in a 4-volume set was once revised in 1956 to incorporate 2,565 saints in comparison to the unique 1,486. Sparsely edited Herbert J. Thurston, S.J., and Donald Attwater to retain the charms of Butler’s original prose taste, this work of devotion and scholarship gives truths central to Christianity and underlying themes of Christian love.
