Seller's Description:
New. By now the paradigm of the tension between inspiration and institution has become conventional--but only because it is so useful and accurate. Thus the case in this history of the first three centuries of the Franciscan Order, as it struggled to keep the original ideals upon which it was founded pure and uppermost in its organization and mission. Moorman recounts this tension in his narrative of the founding of the Order by Francis and Clare, its extension into missions and the universities, and numerous reforms culminating in the development of Second and Third Orders. Continually the question arises for the Franciscans: must poverty and contemplation be diminished by mission, or might they enrich it, and if so, how? A marvelous and instructive story.
