| St Francis of Assisi's charismatic challenge - to respond to the gospels' emphasis on Jesus' poverty - attracted others to form a fraternity that was to become an important part of both the medieval Church and secular society. This book covers the Order's history, its growth and development, its wide-ranging pastoral and missionary work and its internal tensions and crises, from 13th century origins down to the division into Observants and Conventuals in the 15th century. | ||||

Augustine, Sinner and Saint | |||

| Nearly 1600 years after his death, Augustine's Confessions continues to be read, and his influence endures in Western concepts of Gods, religion, politics and psychology. In this biography, James O'Donnell tells the story both of a trail-blazing churchman and of one of the most significant figures in world history, offering new insights into a figure who turns out to be more complex, more important and perhaps more interesting than even readers of the Confessions expect. | ||||
