Download or read book Francis of Assisi written by Augustine Thompson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recommend this book strongly to anyone serious about understanding Francis of Assisi. I admire the clarity and brevity of the writing. With decisiveness, Thompson cuts through the conflicting medieval accounts of each event in Francis' life, adjusts for the hagiographers' spin and creates a credible chronology out of the blurry dates. His knowledge of medieval Italy allows him to provide insightful explanations of the legal, liturgical, and ecclesiastical practices of the time."—Paul Moses, America Among the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty, his love of animals and nature, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death, followers collected, for their own purposes, numerous stories, anecdotes, and reports about Francis. As a result, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend. In this authoritative and engaging new biography, Augustine Thompson, O.P., sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The result is a complex yet sympathetic portrait of the man and the saint. Francis emerges from this account as very much a typical thirteenth-century Italian layman, but one who, when faced with unexpected crises in his personal life, made decisions so radical that they challenge his own society—and ours. Unlike the saint of legend, this Francis never had a unique divine inspiration to provide him with rules for following the teachings of Jesus. Rather, he spent his life reacting to unexpected challenges, before which he often found himself unprepared and uncertain. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies. His famed devotion to poverty is found to be more nuanced than expected, perhaps not even his principal spiritual concern. Thompson revisits events small and large in Francis's life, including his troubled relations with his father, his contacts with Clare of Assisi, his encounter with the Muslim sultan, and his receiving the Stigmata, to uncover the man behind the legends and popular images. A tour de force of historical research and biographical writing, Francis of Assisi: A New Biography is divided into two complementary parts—a stand alone biographical narrative and a close, annotated examination of the historical sources about Francis. Taken together, the narrative and the survey of the sources provide a much-needed fresh perspective on this iconic figure. "As I have worked on this biography," Thompson writes, "my respect for Francis and his vision has increased, and I hope that this book will speak to modern people, believers and unbelievers alike, and that the Francis I have come to know will have something to say to them today."
Download or read book Christ Among Them written by Edoardo Mungiello and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay newly interprets the rise of the individual within the Italian peninsula between 1180 and 1300. It follows the historical events and the cultural products that define the period keeping in mind that the creators were conscious of a tangible, real Christ in their midst. For it is the time when Jesus was known to be in the Eucharist as a carnal potentiality, as well as a time when Europeans on Crusade had reached his temporal abode. As Christ as neighbor became a consistent idea, the relationship towards that idea became one of accommodation, making subsequent worship a form of individualism. The later Renaissance was as much a specific reaction to a particular understanding of Christology within the cultural sphere as it was a reawakening of Classical ideals through a new paradigm of European selfhood outside of Christianity. Understood in this way, the Incarnation helped to produce an action based Christianity amenable to the needs of the Roman Church. The later insistence upon text and notions of personal conscience that identifies the Reformation, can now be seen as a true end to the Renaissance Christian praxis which began with the excitement over Christ among them.

Download or read book Les Fioretti de saint Fran ois d Assise written by Saint François d'Assise and published by Editions du Cerf. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Fioretti sont l'ouvrage le plus connu et le plus populaire sur saint François d'Assise. C'est souvent en lisant les Fioretti que bien des lecteurs découvrent saint François et s'attachent à lui. En effet, comment ne pas être sensibles à la poésie de la prédication aux oiseaux ou à l'émotion du récit sur la « Joie parfaite » ? L'ouvrage a été composé plus de cent ans après la mort du Saint, au début du XIVe siècle, et l'on sait qu'un brin de légende s'est glissé à l'intérieur de toutes ces histoires pittoresques et savoureuses. Mais l'esprit de saint François y est conservé. Il n'a peut-être pas accompli tous les gestes que lui prêtent certains chapitres, pourtant, « il n'est pas un mot, il n'est pas un acte qui soit étranger à ses véritables intentions ». Ainsi l'intérêt des Fioretti reste inentamé en ce début du XXIe siècle.
Download or read book To Govern Is to Serve written by Jacques Dalarun and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Govern Is to Serve explores the practices of collective governance in medieval religious orders that turned the precepts of the Gospels—most notably that "the first will be last, the last will be first"—into practices of communal deliberation and the election of superiors. Jacques Dalarun argues that these democratic forms have profoundly influenced modern experiences of democracy, in particular the idea of government not as domination but as service. Dalarun undertakes meticulous textual analysis and historical research into twelfth and thirteenth-century religious movements—from Fontevraud and the Paraclete of Abelard and Heloise through St. Dominic and St. Francis—that sought their superiors from among the less exalted members of their communities to chart how these experiments prefigured certain aspects of modern democracies, those allowing individuals to find their way forward as part of a collective. Wide ranging and deeply original,To Govern Is to Serve highlights the history of the reciprocal bonds of service and humility that underpin increasingly fragile democracies in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: François d'Assise (1182-1226), qui fut à l'origine au XIIIe siècle de l'ordre des Frères mineurs ou Franciscains, a profondément marqué toute la spiritualité occidentale. Par son sens de l'humilité et sa simplicité, par son exigence à vivre l'esprit de pauvreté évangélique, par son amour fervent de la nature qu'il célébra en poète inspiré, le poverello demeure l'une des figures les plus fascinantes de la chrétienté et Assise le lieu de rencontres fraternelles entre toutes les religions. Ses oeuvres écrites, rassemblées ici dans l'admirable traduction d'Alexandre Masseron, comprennent, outre les deux Règles qu'il rédigea pour l'ordre, des lettres, quelques poèmes latins et des Laudes. On y trouve également un court Testament adressé à ses compagnons en 1226, qui témoigne de la nostalgie qu'il éprouvait pour la pureté de l'origine des Frères mineurs, et le Cantique de frère soleil, célébration de Dieu en toutes ses créatures.
