Thorough and broad,

This review is from: June (Butler's Lives of the Saints) (Hardcover)
The June edition of the Butler series has two very lengthy sections on the lives of St. Peter and St. Paul. The editor did an excellent job of summarizing the sources. This series has been quite thorough and broad and emphasizes the accuracy of the sources. Kathleen Jones introduction of this volume gives on overview of the well-known and lesser known saints of this month. I appreciate the stress she places on what is conjecture and what can be proved, almost. This edition does not delve in cultic devotion, but presents each saint as accurately as possible.
