What is the Pre-Pub program?
Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler (12 Vols.) is available as part of the Logos Pre-Pub program. This is essentially a pre-ordering system that allows Logos users the chance to get substantial savings on titles by placing their order before the title has been produced. This system ensures that there is enough interest in a product prior to production, and helps Logos be a good steward of its time and resources.
Will my credit card be charged when I place my Pre-Pub order?
Your credit card will not be charged until the product has completed production and is shipping.
How long after I place my order will it take for the title to finish production and ship?
Every title is different, so we can’t give you an exact date. The first step is for the title to move from Pre-Pub to production. This is done when enough orders have been made to cover production costs. Depending on the popularity of a title, this can take as little as a few days. Once a title moves into production, the time until shipping is dependent on numerous factors. Either way, we’ll let you know a couple weeks before we think the Pre-Pub will ship.
Should I just wait until it looks like the title is going to production before I place my Pre-Pub order?
The earlier your order, the more you save. Pre-Pub prices go up as we get closer to production—sometimes dramatically. The Pre-Pub price today is the lowest price you’ll ever pay—so order now!
Do I need to purchase a Logos Bible Software base package?
Your Pre-Pub will work great as a stand-alone product, and you’ll still be able to take advantage of many of the great features of Logos Bible Software. However, to save up to 95% on hundreds of books, commentaries, and Bible study materials, check out one of the base packages. |
The Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler (12 Vols.) from Logos Bible Software contains the unabridged text of Alban Butler’s classic work, The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints. Originally published between 1756 and 1759, Butler’s magnum opus is an unparalleled English source for the study of the Christian saints. Often appearing on best-seller lists alongside the Bible, the Missal, and Thomas à Kempis’ The Imitation of Christ, Butler’s Lives of the Saints is an enduring classic and has been through numerous reprints and editions in its 250 year history.
With biographical accounts of over sixteen hundred saints arranged according to the saints' feast days, Butler’s Lives of the Saints remains the authoritative hagiography (study of saints) in the English language. Butler’s work is a priceless companion for research into the historical figures of Christianity or for simply connecting with the faithful who have gone before. These volumes function perfectly as an evening meditation but are versatile enough to use for term projects, home school assignments, or real-life sermon illustrations.
This Logos edition is built to function within the Devotions section of your HomePage within Logos Bible Software. Once you have selected it as a preferred devotional, you will be encouraged by the devotion and example of hundreds of the most influential saints in Christian history. Each day, when you start your Logos program, you will be greeted with the story of a new exemplar of upstanding Christian character. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler (12 Vols.) also contains the same keylink and search functionality as any other valuable resource in your digital library.
