[edit] FRANCIS - A SAINT'S WAY
James Cowan lived in Italy for three years walking in the footsteps of Saint Francis, following his journeys, breathing his air and sleeping in his caves and grottoes. This book recalls his discoveries about the man, arguing that, in a sense, he de-institutionalized the medieval Church.
This deeply personal book, by the internationally acclaimed author of A Mapmaker's Dream, relives some of St Francis's experiences and tries to understand the complexity of history's most popular saint. James Cowan lived in Italy for three years walking in the footsteps of Francis, following his journeys, breathing his air and sleeping in his caves and grottoes. He discovered a man who, in a sense, de-institutionalised the medieval Church, who represented a mystical Christian tradition and stood up to leaders and theologians and all the great citadels of monastic influence This attempt to enter into the spirit of Francis as also a celebration of Italy and its ability to inspire the imagination.
