  This original work has been updated for it is most urgent that a thorough revision be undertaken, completely rewritten and with substantial amendments to the selection of entries. These amendments have been made necessary, first by the major reform of the Roman Calendar, and by the unprecedented number of canonizations and beatifications of recent decades. To these factors must be added the ongoing revision of the Roman Martyrology in progress at the Congregation of Divine Worship in Rome, which has altered a number of dates for commemoration, and which this new revision follows.

  In the revival of interest in Celtic spirituality, the stories of the Celtic saints have been retold, often festooned with legend and folklore.

  Saints Of The Anglican Calendar

  $32.00

  The Saints of the Anglican Calendar introduces us to the 232 men and women who are commemorated in the Common Worship Calendar. Nearly five hundred years after the Reformation, the Church of England is coming to a fuller appreciation of the saints, and their contribution to our spiritual heritage. Medieval accounts of saints’ lives were often marred by confitsion and contradictory oral traditions, the writers’ desire to tell an edifying story, and the exploitation of the commercial opportunities of pilgrim shrines. Embellished with improbable miracles and unlikely legends, these accounts made the saints seem remote and unbelievable figures, but recent theological scholarship has cleared away the accretions of centuries, enabling us to see the saints as real people who faced up to the challenge of living out the Christian faith, often in conditions of great difficulty or danger – and who made mistakes like everyone else. aaThis lively and informative volume presents the experience of men and women from the days of the ea

  Butlers Lives Of The Saints December

  $49.95

  Since its original publication over two hundred years ago, >I?Bulter’s Lives of the Saints has been one of the best-known and most used religious reference works of all time. The original works, including this December edition, have been updated twice previously in the twentieth century. The need has become urgent for this most thorough revision yet undertaken, completely rewritten and with substantial amendments to the selection of entries. This volume was revised by Kathleen Jones, working to general guidelines and backed by a team of expert consultants. The bibliographical notes to each entry, which have been such a valuable feature, are retained and updated, and in the case of major figures, expanded with notes on artistic representations. In many cases, these relate to legend rather than to history, so relevant legends are not discarded, but distinguished as such–which may have been a principle, but was not always the practice with earlier editions.
