With great devotion to his subject, yet with the critical eye of a researcher and historian, Frederick M. Jones, C.Ss.R., brings Saint Alphonsus Liguori to life in this biographical and historical story of the Neapolitan nobleman turned priest, Redemptorist founder, bishop, and moral theologian. Capturing the personality and achievement of Alphonsus de Liguori, while refusing to gloss over numerous flaws in the saint's character, Father Jones depicts a zealous priest, a learned theologian, and the founder of an order that has brought great honor to the Church.
