Reviews
Rather than spoon-feeding readers, the authors provide them with an array of critical interpretive tools that encourage them to directly engage the texts and reach their own conclusions. This workbook is a unique and vital contribution to studies of Clare of Assisi. -- Catherine M. Mooney, Ph.D. Boston College I strongly recommend it, not only because it meets a need but because it meets that need so well. Anyone in formation who worked their way through this text would end up thoroughly well-informed and able to follow and contribute to the scholarly debates about Clare and her place in the early Franciscan movement. -- Sr. Frances Teresa Downing, OSC Poor Clares, St. Leonards on Sea This is an important contribution to Franciscan and Clarian studies that will help users to discover and appreciate the 'backstory' of Clare's life-long struggle to receive papal approval for her Form of Life and the enduring contribution of the women who followed her example. -- Michael W. Blastic, OFM Old Mission Santa Barbara
