After Francis, Towards the Holy Land Ritsema van Eck legge Evangelisti

The book Dopo Francesco offers a highly complex perspective on how members of the Franciscan Order proposed to go about their institutional task of evangelization, from the Order’s foundation up to and including the later Middle Ages. Based on a detailed reading of a wide range of primary sources ‒ hagiographies, historiographical works, sermons, normative texts – this monograph offers a highly original analysis of the Franciscan perspectives on armed and unarmed conversion of the religious other.
