About this book
“For his Ideals were the ideals of the Gospel, and his own image was but the reflection of the Divine Image, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.” — Hilarin Felder
Hilarin Felder spent more than thirty years on this book. It is not another life of St. Francis but a portrait of his soul, drawn theme by theme: the Gospel and Christ, the Eucharist and the Church, poverty, humility, obedience, penance, joy, brotherliness, charity, peace, preaching, learning, prayer and the love of creatures. Every chapter rests on the earliest witnesses and lets them speak in their own words.
First published in English in 1925, The Ideals of St. Francis of Assisi was welcomed as a classic of Franciscan spirituality. This complete edition keeps James J. Walsh’s preface, Felder’s extensive notes and the index, and adds a new Note to This Edition for the eight-hundredth anniversary.
