In his 1894 biography of St. Francis, Paul Sabatier sought to find the man beneath the layers of myth and legend. Sabatier, a French Protestant, portrayed a fully human Francis, with insecurities and fear, but also a gentle mystic and passionate reformer who desired to live as Jesus taught his disciples. This modern edition is supplemented with the insights of scholars and writers, from Bonaventure and Dante to G.K. Chesterton and Umberto Eco.
