STUDYING THE LIFE
OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI:
A Beginner's Workbook
There has never been a richer time for Franciscan studies than now, thanks in great part to the publication of Francis of Assisi: Early Documents in 2002. Br. William R. Hugo's workbook is a proven resource that has guided people at all academic levels through a study of the life and writings of St. Francis using primary sources in translation. This Second Edition is a thorough revision that includes new scholarship and new bibliographic references.
The worksheets can be done by individuals or in groups or seminars. General readers will enjoy learning about St. Francis and how hagiography shaped the public stories of medieval saints. Formation directors who teach the life and writings of St. Francis should not be without this extraordinary sourcebook with its readymade lesson plans and insightful commentaries. This is an invaluable guide … Br. Bill Hugo takes pains not to interject his own person between the voyager and St. Francis. Rather, he provides the tools and maps out a route for one to discover for her/himself the person of Francis. Paperback, 248 pages.
