Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Brother John; A Tale of the First Franciscans" is a compelling historical novel that transports readers to the 13th century, a time of profound spiritual upheaval and renewal. The narrative follows the journey of John, a young man drawn to the radical ideals of Saint Francis of Assisi. As the early Franciscan movement grapples with the tensions between its foundational vow of absolute poverty and the growing institutional demands of the Church, the story explores the lived reality of those who sought to follow the "Poverello" in his imitation of Christ.Through rich historical detail and deep theological insight, the work captures the essence of the medieval religious experience. It delves into themes of communal devotion, humility, and the pursuit of a pure Christian life amidst a changing social landscape. The protagonist's journey serves as a window into the hearts of the first friars, who sought to transform the world through love and simplicity. This work stands as a significant contribution to religious historical fiction, offering a poignant look at one of the most transformative periods in Western spiritual history and the enduring struggle to balance spiritual purity with the realities of the material world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
