IN THE STEPS OF ST. FRANCIS...by Ernest RaymondVERY SLIGHTLY USED. Published by Franciscan Herald Press in 1975. Paperback, 372 pages. Clean pages, tight binding, very little cover wear. From the 'Introduction For Scholars Only'; "if any learned students of St. Francis' life should glance into these pages of mine, they may feel some scholarly irritation that I should have dealt with one or two aspects and incidents of the life as if there were no dispute about them at all. They will remark, for instance, that I have stated without comment that Francis' mother, Domina Pica, was of Provencal origin and high birth, that the Third Order sprang from a sermon at Cannara, that Bernard of Quintavalle led the first mission to Spain and the the "Chapter of Mats" was held in 12119.

FRANCIS OF ASSISIPERFORMING THE GOSPEL LIFE....by Lawrence S. CunninghamUSED. Quality paperback, published by Wm. B. Eerdamans Publishing Co, during 2004. Cover has a few diminutive light stains, All 160 pages are free of underlinings or notations. Sound binding. "Pursuing a realistic view of the saint, Cunningham argues against common stereotypes that sentimentalize Francis as a "bless-er of animals," as a "church rebel," or as a precursor of the "spirituality" movement. According to Cunningham, really seeing Francis requires the lens of theology rather than the lens of quaint spirituality so often used. Francis was a devotedly orthodox Catholic whose life must be understood as a response to reforming elements abroad in the church of his day. Francis's originality derived from his success in articulating the "ideal Gospel life": his message and actions were a kind of "acting out" of the scriptures. Only one in stock as of 04/19/13.
