There has never been a richer time for Franciscan studies than now, thanks in great part ot eh publication of Francis of Assist; Early documents (FA:ED) in 2002.
Hugo’s workbook is a proven resource that has guided people at all academic levels through a study of the life and writings of St Francis using primary sources in translation. This second edition is a thorough revision that is totally compatible with FA:ED. It also includes new scholarship and new bibliographic references, More than half the worksheets of the previous edition have been revised, and others have been added.
The worksheets can be done by individuals or in groups or seminars. General readers will enjoy learning about Saint Francis and how hagiography shaped the public stories of medieval saints. Formation directors who teach the life and writings of Saint Francis should not be without this extraordinary sourcebook with its readymade lesson plans.
William Hugo has ministered in initial formation since 1980 and taught the life of Francis of Assisi for over 26 years to Capuchins at various levels of formation and to Secular Franciscans. He was editor of Capuchin spirituality and history journal The New Round Table for seven years and is currently the Provincial director of Initial Formation and director of postulants for the Midwest Capuchins.
