THEO 313 Second-generation Shapers of the Franciscan Movement

3 Credits

The development and history of the Franciscan tradition in the first centuries following Francis’ death are traced in this course. Through the writings of the men and women who shaped this history, students come in contact with such issues as poverty, clericalism, academics, mysticism, and the apocalyptic sense of mission. Anthony of Padua, Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, Angela of Foligno, Bernardine of Siena, and Colette of Corbie are some of the Franciscans whom students meet in their studies.

Prerequisite(s): THEO 104 and PHIL 102 and a minimum of 55 earned credits.
