{"product_id":"francis-of-assisi-leonardo-boff-9781570756801","title":"Francis of Assisi: A Model for Human Liberation","description":"In this classic work, Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff examines the relevance of St. Francis to contemporary spirituality and to the construction of a new church. Eschewing sentimental images of the Poverello, Boff's Francis embodies \"the preferential option for the poor.\" As a \"model of gentleness and care,\" Francis exemplifies an \"integral liberation\" in which the spiritual and the social are never separate, but intimately bound together. In his new preface Boff observes: \"Through his deep humanity Francis of Assisi has become an archetype of the human ideal. He belongs not only to Christianity but to all humankind.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonardo Boff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570756805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570756801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.06w x 0.38d","brand":"Leonardo Boff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199120527615,"sku":"9781570756801","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d80bdf8d-736b-4dcf-ba1b-33898d2535e8.jpg?v=1727925101","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/francis-of-assisi-leonardo-boff-9781570756801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
