This new full edition of Butler's Lives of the Saints is completely revised and updated in twelve volumes.

"The Second Vatican Council's teaching on the Church reminds us that all Christians are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of love. It adds: '. . . God shows [us] in a vivid way his presence and his face in the lives of those companions of ours who are more perfectly transformed into the image of Christ'" .
-from the Forward by Basil Cardinal Hume, in the January volume.

Since its original publication over two hundred years ago, Butler's Lives of the Saints has been one of the best-known and most-used religious reference works of all time. The original work has been updated twice previously in the twentieth century, in 1926-1938 and again in the 1950s. The need has become urgent for this most thorough revision yet 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 calendar, which removed many saints for whom reliable historical evidence was lacking, and, second, 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 for Divine Worship in Rome, which has altered a number of dates for commemoration, and which this new revision follows.

Each volume is the work of one editor, working to general guidelines and backed by a team of expert consultants. Criteria to be adopted by each editor are: maximum clarity of style; more worldwide emphasis, reflecting the pattern of recent beatifications; the provision of solid historical and contextual background. 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.

The name "Butler's" has been retained because, besides the fact that much of his information is still valid and retained, his original purpose remains the basic inspiration: "Example instructs without usurping the authoritative air of a master. ... In the lives of the saints we see the most perfect maxims of the gospel reduced to practice."

SARAH FAWCETT THOMAS studied languages at Georgetown and Oxford Universities. She also holds a post-graduate certificate of education from London University and a master's degree in theology from King's College, London. She has been an assistant editor of The Tablet and editor for CAFOD, the charity promoting development in the Third World. She has translated many books, including parts of the Collins Bible Handbook, as well as numerous articles for Concilium. She also edits the Good Hotel Guide, has reviewed books and music for The Economist and other leading publications and contributed articles to the Contemporary Review. She lives in Oxford with her husband, Tony, travels widely, and still manages to pursue interests in music, politics, social issues, gardening, and bird-watching.
