Product Description
In his early studies, Flood focused on the history of the brotherhood with special emphasis on the development of the Early Rule. Eventually, however, the social structures of early Franciscan life led to the economics of the early Franciscan movement and the importance of work in the life of Francis and his companions. Told from the vantage point of a historian, Flood leads the reader through his analysis of the early movement.
