Celebrating 800 Years of Franciscans in the British Isles: Essays in Honour of Eric Doyle OFM

by Brenda Abbott (Editor)

This peer reviewed anniversary volume offers a contribution to the wider anniversary celebrations taking place throughout the Franciscan world from 2023 to 2026. In the many diverse chapters we learn about the great successes and celebrations of the Franciscan mission, as well as the hardships and adverse circumstances endured by men and women of faith in their endeavour to follow the Gospel Christ. The tremendous contribution of Franciscan saints and scholars — so many of whom hailed from these shores — to the intellectual and spiritual tradition of the Franciscan School, is also explored, as is the charism’s contemporary relevance.
