- Title
FRANCISCAN WORK THEOLOGY IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE.
- Authors
Ranft, Patricia
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views in placing Franciscan work theology in its larger historical context. It states that early Franciscans presented a variety of possibilities to the society once a monastic theology prior to St. Francis of Assisi is documented. Recognizing the existence and influence of monastic work theology in the temporal world provides easier understanding on the criticism of later Franciscans. It also discusses Peter Damian's voluminous writings, his creativity and originality wherein theology is often dispersed throughout his writings.
