Short information

Francis of Assis as a medieval Protestant – a modern biography.

About this book

This is a modern biography of Francis of Assis (1182–1226) who ranks among the best known saints of the church. It still fascinates people to read and learn about the life and the teaching of this son of a salesman who after his conversion withdrew into solitude and from henceforth lived in poverty and steady prayer in order to feel God’s closeness.
Klaus Reblin draws his own picture of Francis. A particular asset of his work is Reblin’s skill to link Francis’ concerns with issues of our times. Thus we encounter a saint who is at the same time a dropout, a crisis manager, an anticapitalist, a lover of poverty, and an environmentalist. – A refreshingly new approach.
