About this book
Faith, church history and daily conduct meet in Alban Butler’s collection of Christian saints’ lives, covering January, February and March. The volume presents religious biography as a source of moral instruction, connecting individual lives with the customs, institutions and beliefs of earlier centuries. Its introductory material explains the Catholic purpose of the collection and the place of saints as examples for Christian families.
The surviving accounts vary in detail. A brief entry for St. Kinnia records her connection with St. Patrick, while the life of St. Sigebert II follows a royal childhood, the administration of Austrasia and the guidance of Pepin of Landen. References and footnotes accompany the historical narrative. Readers interested in religious biography can examine how personal devotion, political responsibility and the preservation of church memory are brought together within the same collection.
