Author Description

Product Description This volume addresses the contribution of Franciscan ideals to the institutions of higher learning. The contributors are all experienced in the field of education and present a variety of topics appropriate to value formation in that venue. About the Author Spirit and Life: Essays on Contemporary Franciscanism serves as a vehicle for publication of papers presented at conferences, symposia and/or workshops that seek to bring the Franciscan tradition into creative dialogue with contemporary theology, philosophy and history. During the fiftieth anniversary year (1991) of The Franciscan Institute, the publication of this journal was a refounding of an earlier Franciscan Institute series entitled Spirit and Life, established in 1948 by Philotheus Boehner, OFM, one of the co-founders and first director of The Institute.
