Customer Reviews

A good overview of Francis's most important writings

Regis Armstrong, O.F.M. Cap., applies his extensive scholarly knowledge of Franciscan primary sources to produce a readable introduction for the layperson. Includes many new translations by Armstrong. Book is organized as a commentary with excerpts from Francis's writings interspersed throughout. The book has no index -- a major flaw which makes the book far less usable than it should be.
