About this book
This study is a look into the mind of Francis the theological thinker: how his writings reveal a true theologian who wrestles with, and makes sense of, profound and even seemingly contradictory truths of faith.
Sr. Clare Bernadette Knowles uses the “coincidence of opposites” to open the theology Francis was pondering as he composed his seemingly simple writings, from the Admonitions and the Letters to the Office of the Passion and the Canticle of Brother Sun, chapter by chapter: the Trinity, Christ true God and true man, following in his footprints, and loving God with our whole heart.
The “unlearned” Saint Francis emerges as a wise theologian with an intuitive and very clear vision, a lived, experiential theology that calls for a response of love, joy and gratitude. With a preface by Fr. Rick Martignetti, OFM.
