Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the origins, development, and fundamental principles that underpin the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor. As a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 12th century, the Franciscans sought to emulate the life of Jesus Christ through a commitment to poverty, chastity, and obedience. The author explores how the Franciscan movement evolved from its humble beginnings, founded by Saint Francis of Assisi, to become a significant force in medieval Christianity. By analyzing the writings of Saint Francis, his followers, and papal documents, this book traces the development of the Franciscan Rule, a set of guidelines that codified the Order's principles and practices. The author also examines the influence of the Franciscan movement on broader social and political developments of the time, including its role in promoting peace and reconciliation. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable and insightful exploration of the Franciscan Order, shedding light on its historical significance and its enduring legacy as a spiritual movement dedicated to serving the poor and marginalized.
