Francis of Assisi: The Message in His Writings [Paperback]

Thaddee Matura (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1997

Although Francis of Assisi had no formal training in theology, he has left us a profound yet warmly human vision of the Christian life. In this study, the author breaks with custom and focuses not on the personality of Francis but on his message as we find it in his writings: a rich, balanced message that teaches a vibrant spirituality centered on God and humanity and not on the little poor man of Assisi.
