Book Synopsis Franciscan Poverty and Franciscan Economic Thought (1209-1348) by : Ryan Thornton
Download or read book Franciscan Poverty and Franciscan Economic Thought (1209-1348) written by Ryan Thornton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Francis of Assisi started to use his family’s resources for religious purposes, his father took him to court. It was there that Francis dispossessed himself of everything and began a new life that soon inspired others to follow. Within a century, members of this Order of Friars Minor were among the first to dedicate complete treatises to discussions of buying, selling, and the whole of human exchange that is known as economics. The natural question to ask—and the one proposed here—is whether there might be a connection between the two, between Franciscan poverty and Franciscan economic thought?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to determine whether there was a relationship between Franciscan poverty and the economic thought of the Franciscans, one must begin by defining the first as it had its origin in the life of Francis of Assisi and his creation of a religious order within the Catholic Church in 1209. It then becomes possible to identify the progressive development of this poverty within the Order of Friars Minor through a dialogue with successive popes and over the course of different events involving the Franciscans. At the heart of the inquiry is the discussion of various economic subjects (exchange, contracts, loans, usury, the gift) by the Franciscans Peter of John Olivi, John Duns Scotus, and Gerald Odonis, as their works establish the existence of economic thought among the Friars Minor. By continuing to follow the interaction between the Order and the papacy, one sees important changes in Franciscan poverty and, consequently, a reprise of the economic thought of Olivi, Scotus, and Odonis in the sermons of Bernardine of Sienna, who died in 1444 and provides a terminus for the present study.

Book Synopsis Dante and the Franciscans by : N. R. Havely
Download or read book Dante and the Franciscans written by N. R. Havely and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Havely examines the connections between Dante, the Franciscans and the Papacy as they appear in the Commedia, and presents the poem as one concerned with an often dramatic confrontation between authority and idealism in the church. Havely draws on a wide range of literary, historical and art historical sources relating to the controversy about Franciscan poverty during the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. He argues that the Spiritual Franciscans' strict interpretations of evangelical poverty provided the poet with a means of addressing the state of the contemporary Papacy and of imagining the renewal of the church. He also explores the origins and afterlife of the debate about this form of poverty and Dante's contribution to it. This study will appeal to scholars interested in medieval religious and intellectual history, as well as to readers of Dante's poem and other medieval visionary and political writing.
Book Synopsis Franciscan Management of Finances by : Ordo Fratrum Minorum - Roma
Download or read book Franciscan Management of Finances written by Ordo Fratrum Minorum - Roma and published by OFM Communications Office. This book was released on with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the final document of the General Chapter of 2009, Bearers of the Gift of the Gospel, the chapter delegates stated clearly their intention that any document issuing from the Chapter should be a message that “inspires and animates the daily life of the brothers rather than a doctrinal document” (BGG, 2). They further declared that they wanted to place themselves and all of the friars “in the context of the life, needs, questions and challenges of our people” (BGG, 4). They reinforced this concern later in the document, when they stated: “The spirituality that nourishes our life and evangelizing mission is never foreign to the life of our peoples and what concerns them” (BGG, 30). One of the more serious concerns among the members of the Chapter relates to the “ethical use of financial resources in solidarity,” a theme that has come to the fore following the collapse of the global economic architecture beginning in 2008, and its lingering negative consequences in all regions of the world. Concerns regarding the ethical use of financial resources are found in Mandates 43, 54 and 55 of Bearers of the Gift of the Gospel. They reflect a much broader concern regarding economic activity and the role of ethics in promoting the common good, as has been repeatedly expressed by the Church in her Social Teaching. These same concerns were examined by the Union of Superiors General in 2002, in the document entitled Economy and Mission in the Consecrated Life Today. In 2011 the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, in its reflection on the world economy, Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority, states that “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence. What is more, the crisis engages private actors and competent public authorities on the national, regional and international level in serious reflection on both causes and solutions of a political, economic and technical nature.” And more recently, Pope Francis, in his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii gaudium (November 2013), states clearly that ethics and economy can no longer be divorced but must be united in their promotion of the common good (cf. num. 52-60, 203-207, et passim). The present document addresses all of these concerns, but it is a specific response to Mandate 54 of the General Chapter, which calls for “a program for Initial and Ongoing Formation that will educate the Entities of the Order on the theme of finances, paying particular attention to transparency, solidarity and ethics” (BGG, Mandate 54). The General Administration offers this document as a source of reflection and also as a challenge to all friars, to be used for both Ongoing and Initial Formation throughout the Order. My special thanks go to the Office of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation and to the General Treasurer for their essential contribution in its elaboration, along with the many friars and members of the General Definitorium who offered helpful suggestions and comments. We pray that this reflection will help us to live more faithfully our Franciscan commitment to the Gospel through an ethical use of resources in favor of the poor.
Book Synopsis Religious Poverty and the Profit Economy in Medieval Europe by : Lester K. Little
Download or read book Religious Poverty and the Profit Economy in Medieval Europe written by Lester K. Little and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this stimulating and important book Lester Little advances the original thesis that, paradoxically, it was the leading practitioners of voluntary poverty, Franciscan and Dominican friars, who finally formulated a Christian ethic which justified the activities of merchants, moneylenders, and other urban professionals, and created a Christian spirituality suitable for townsmen. Little has synthesized a vast body of specialized literature in Italian, German, French, and English to write an interpretive essay which provides a new perspective on the interaction between economic and social forces and the religious movements advocating the apostolic ideal of voluntary poverty...Little's book is a major contribution, not only to the history of the religious movement of voluntary poverty, but also to the interdisciplinary study of the middle ages." --Journal of Social History
Book Synopsis Rethinking Economics Starting from the Commons by : Valentina Rotondi
Download or read book Rethinking Economics Starting from the Commons written by Valentina Rotondi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new approach to economics, starting from the commons and based on the Economy of Francesco (EoF), a worldwide movement of young people who aim to change the current economic models and working towards a fair, sustainable, and inclusive economic system. EoF was convened by Pope Francis and is inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi, featuring Franciscan economic roots and institutions, as well as theories of the social sciences. The authors raise and answer several important questions throughout the volume, such as: What if the economic courses taught in the universities across the globe focused their attention on the topics of the commons rather than on private goods? What if social businesses, rather than being considered as a hybrid form of businesses, became the normal approach, and ethical and green finance ruled over the standard financial sector? Is it possible to move away from the primacy of the consumers to the preeminence of ethical consumers who express their preferences for an inclusive, sustainable, and workers-friendly economic system with their daily choices? Using a unique approach, the book includes the contributions of prominent scholars which are integrated and discussed by young international scholars, providing a fresh analysis with a glance of hope for the future. The book is a must-read for students, scholars, and researchers of economics and related disciplines interested in alternatives to the current economic mainstream in general, and the Economy of Francesco in particular.
Book Synopsis The Franciscan Invention of the New World by : Julia McClure
Download or read book The Franciscan Invention of the New World written by Julia McClure and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the story of the ‘discovery of America’ through the prism of the history of the Franciscans, a socio-religious movement with a unique doctrine of voluntary poverty. The Franciscans rapidly developed global dimensions, but their often paradoxical relationships with poverty and power offer an alternate account of global history. Through this lens, Julia McClure offers a deeper history of colonialism, not only by extending its chronology, but also by exploring the powerful role of ambivalence in the emergence of colonial regimes. Other topics discussed include the legal history of property, the complexity and politics of global knowledge networks, the early (and neglected) history of the Near Atlantic, and the transatlantic inquisition, mysticism, apocalypticism, and religious imaginations of place.
