This book gathers together, for the first time, the contributions of outstanding Franciscan scholars who offer their insightful interpretations of the primary Franciscan sources as they speak to today's environmental concerns. Beginning with sacred Scripture and proceeding to the classical Franciscan texts, the reader is immersed in the rich heritage of Franciscan thought that probes the heights and depths of God's relationship to the cosmos. Includes questions for reflection and discussion that prompt the individual or group to see the relationship among the ideas raised, to think more deeply about these concerns and to consider their relevance to themselves and the global community. Supplemental materials include a list of resources and and action organizations, a glossary of essential terms, journal exercises and suggestions for research and reflection papers.

<p>This brief volume discusses several of the central elements of human person as found in those works of the Franciscan theological tradition which, when taken together, most sufficiently describe these qualities. As the tradition developed over the years, the intuitions and insights of St., Francis and St. Clarie of Assisi concerning the human person were developed and/or restated in language better understood by the people of a particular era. Two of the most famous early Franciscan theologians, Bonaventure and John Duns Scotus, did just that. This volume will, by drawing on the wisdom on the Franciscan tradition, contribute in a similar way to an understanding of the human person today.<br><br>This is the third in a series intended to encompass topics which will connect the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition with today's language of our Christian Catholic Franciscan way of Gospel life. It will include some of the many different carriers of our Franciscan Tradition - not just Francis and cleric theologians, but also Clare, the women penitents and the laity. Embedded in this vision and communicated in the Intellectual Tradition are implications for the world of politics, economics, social relations, family life and daily human existence.</p>
