摘要
Contributors demonstrate how the tools of various intellectual disciplines can be used to examine what we now know about the story of Saint Francis in his own era and how that story has been appropriated in our period.

Released in "The New Middle Ages" series, this collection takes a multidisciplinary look at St. Francis, considering artistic and literary images in theological, historical, and even political contexts. The best essays explore, among other issues, the artistic evolution of the story of the encounter between St. Francis and the Sultan Al-Malik al-Kamil in 1219, one of the earliest efforts at improving Christian-Muslim relations; the hermeneutic created by Bonaventure to explain Francis's life; and frescoes of the life of St. Francis in San Francesco at Assisi. Other essays examine new biographies of the saint, Olivier Messiaen's opera Saint-Francois d'Assise, the process of writing a play about Francis, and the saint in the 21st century. The strongest essays in this collection offer substantive analysis, but the collection as a whole is uneven and somewhat random, including essays that are repetitive, employ a breezy style, and in at least one instance, create unsubstantiated speculation. Summing Up: Optional. Comprehensive collections. J. P. Baumgaertner Wheaton College (IL)
