Encyclopedia of Saints - Matthew Bunson, Margaret Bunson, Stephen Bunson: Illustrations by Margaret Bunson
From Aaron to Zoticus -- with some 10,000 in between -- here are the Church's "holy ones"
These are the men, women, and children whose heroic virture - whose example of faith, hope, and love - proves that spiritual greatness on earth is possible. Here are their lives and their stories, simply, clearly, and accurately told. Updated to include canonizations of the third millennium, Encyclopedia of Saints, Revised, presents the most comprehensive one volume listing of saints and "beati" - the "blessed" who are one step from canonization. Here, too, are explanations of the Catholic Church's teaching on the Communion of Saints and its tradition of veneration. Here, in alphabetical order, are the biographies of nearly the whole body of those revered as saints throughout the world. Encyclopedia of Saints, Revised, separates historic fact from pious legend as it provides a wealth of information, including: Original and alternately spelled versions of names. Dates of birth and death. Details of the saint's life in the context of his or her times. Companion martyrs and family members. A glossary, a calendar of feast days, and a history of the canonization process from the first century to the twenty-first.
Appendices Include
Patron Saints, Feasts of Mary, Doctors of the Church, Mystics, Apostles of Places and People, Documents from Trent and Vatican II, Emblems of the Saints, Martyrs of the United Saints, Canonized Popes, And more
For the young student or the serious scholar, for the person who is simply curious or the committed Christian looking for inspiration, there is no other book like Encyclopedia of Saints, Revised
