About the Author:
John R. H. Moorman was an English divine, ecumenist and writer. He was Bishop of Ripon from 1959 to 1975. Born in Leeds, Moorman was educated at Gresham s School, Holt and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He gained the B.D. degree in 1940 with this work The Sources for the Life of Saint Francis of Assisi. During the Second World War, Moorman resigned his living and worked as a farmhand in Wharfedale and during this period completed his thesis Church Life in England in the Thirteenth Century for a doctorate of divinity (Cambridge University, 1945). In 1945 he went to Lanercost Priory, and in 1946 re-opened Chichester Theological College. While there, he also served as chancellor of Chichester Cathedral. In 1956 he resigned to concentrate on his Franciscan writings. He was a frequent visitor to the Vatican and led a delegation of Anglican observers to the Second Vatican Council. In 1967 he became the chairman of the Anglican commission which led to the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission. He died at age 84 in Durham. He has three books with FRANCISCAN INSTITUTE PUBLICATIONS: A History of the Franciscan Order from Its Origins to the Year 1517, Medieval Franciscan Houses and Saint Francis of Assisi.
Review:
This is a complete history of the Franciscans and provides many insights to the Franciscan orders , Francis's intent and the changes that have occured over time under the direction of ROME that have altered the original intent of Francis. --Rev. Robert Johnnene, GoodReads

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. By now the paradigm of the tension between inspiration and institution has become conventional -- but only because it is so useful and accurate. Thus the case in this history of the first three centuries of the Franciscan Order, as it struggled to keep the original ideals upon which it was founded pure and uppermost in its organization and mission. Moorman recounts this tension in his narrative of the founding of the Order by Francis and Clare, its extension into missions and the universities, and numerous reforms culminating in the development of Second and Third Orders. Continually the question arises for the Franciscans: must poverty and contemplation be diminished by mission, or might they enrich it, and if so, how? A marvelous and instructive story.
