Description:
Francis of Assisi is one of the world’s most beloved and popular religious figures–and also one of the most misrepresented. Such is the assertion of Mark Galli, who in this IVP Histories volume strips away the modern gloss in order to discover the real man in his real physical, political, and social context. Writing with lively and engaging style, Galli traces the fascinating adventure of Francis’s life, from his hedonistic youth to his emergence as a Christian leader of outstanding influence and passion.
