Catholic - Franciscan

New York, New York: Continuum Publishing Company. Fine in Fine dust jacket 1996. Hard Cover. 8vo - 22.5 x 15 cm.; 144 pp. The authors examine the life of Francis and show how the Canticle can be used as a spiritual tool in today's meditative practices, relating it to the spiritual hierarchies of Dionysius, the ninefold path, the music of Bach and Beethoven, the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Kabbalah. The 'brother' and 'sister' titles of the canticle are related to the nine degrees or hierarchies of angleic existence. Not quite the complete mish-mash it first sounds like though still quite eclectic in the interpretation. . more information

First published in 1913 by Epworth Press of London, this book has become an important one in monastic studies. Foreword by David Knowles along with Workman's preface from 1927. Workman, himself was a Methodist minister with doctorates in Literature and Divinity. He writes with the eyes and sensitivity of a historian with perhaps too much emphasis on the radicalness of the monastic calling which can lead to a glossing over of the wisdom and faithfulness inherent in such an obedient and surrendered life. . more information
