5.0 out of 5 stars
all 12 volumes,
This review is from: Butler's Lives of the Saints: January (Butler's Lives of the Saints) (Hardcover)
This edition of Butler's Lives of the Saints presents its subjects in a vibrant, sober and (as required by the genre) brief way. The books are like the Litany of the Saints invoking these memorable Christians and giving readers a picture of the communion of saints. They came from every time and place. They represent all of human variation. The series does not shy away from presenting weaknesses along with admirable qualities. This clearly comes from the conviction that God's grace does not work only in ideal people, but every variety of person can be a saint.

Sorry, I think it's awful,
By Stefan Jetchick (Sillery, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Butler's Lives of the Saints: January (Butler's Lives of the Saints) (Hardcover)
Paul Burns is, according to the book jacket, distinguished only by the fact he has a "first-class degree in modern languages" (whatever that is), and has translated many books about liberation theology.He systematically attacks all of the greatest Catholic saints, like the Cure d'Ars (an "intransigent moralizer"), saint Joan of Arc (maybe she didn't exist!), saint Rose of Lima (she had mental problems), all missionaries ("cultural imperialists!"), etc. Cheers!
