In it, Michael F. Cusato explores how Francis and his early brothers embraced a life of poverty in solidarity with the lowest ranks of society, preaching a message of justice and dignity for all. He examines how and why Francis's vision ultimately expanded to embrace non-Christians and Muslims in particular following Francis's celebrated encounter with the Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil in 1219. Finally, Cusato considers the clash between Francis and newer members of his Order, his reception of the stigmata, and his final years defending his vision among his own brothers, all while living as an exemplar of the gospel life. 410 0$aMedieval Lives Series 606 $aReligious biography$7Generated by AI 606 $aChristian saints$7Generated by AI 615 0$aReligious biography 615 0$aChristian saints 700 $aCusato$b Michael F$01826699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911008955103321 996 $aFrancis of Assisi$94394720 997 $aUNINA
