Francis of Assisi - Heritage and Heirs Eight Centuries Later

A fresh examination of how the Franciscan tradition has adapted over the last 800 years. In this thought-provoking book, Thaddee Matura with a translation by Paul Lachance offers a new way of looking at how the Franciscan tradition was adapted and contemporized during the centuries. In a clear and accessible style, he shows how the Franciscan Family has gotten to the stage it now enjoys and shows how liberating history can be and is. In 2004, Franciscan Institute Publications reprinted Matura's Francis of Assisi: The Message in His Writings.
