(PUBEerdmans)Cunningham takes exception to sentimental portraits of Francis, whether as a "blesser of animals," "church rebel," or precursor of the "spirituality" movement, preferring instead to see Francis as a reformer of the medieval church, whose vow of poverty and unusual lifestyle sought to "act out" Scripture. 158 pages, softcover.
